The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard designed to simplify how AI models connect to external tools and data sources. Similar to how USB standardized peripheral connections, MCP aims to create a consistent protocol for AI integrations, moving away from bespoke, custom-built connections. This standardization allows AI agents to access a wider range of compatible tools and data without requiring new custom code for each integration, shifting product development conversations from technical feasibility to strategic decisions about AI capabilities and permission boundaries.
