What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to large language models (LLMs). Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. MCP enables you to build agents and complex workflows on top of LLMs and connects your models with the world.

MCP provides:

• A growing list of pre-built integrations that your LLM can directly plug into
• A standardized way to build custom integrations for AI applications
• An open protocol that everyone is free to implement and use
• The flexibility to change between different apps and take your context with you
