The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard designed to streamline the integration of AI models with external tools and data sources. Instead of requiring bespoke integration code for each agent, framework, or language, MCP provides a consistent way for AI models to discover and interact with capabilities. This protocol flattens the integration problem from an N×M complexity to N+M, significantly reducing development time and code. MCP defines three core primitives: tools (model-controlled actions), resources (app-controlled data by URI), and prompts (user-controlled templates), enabling AI applications to access and utilize external systems more efficiently.
