Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard designed to streamline the integration of AI models with external tools and data sources. It provides a consistent framework, akin to REST for web APIs, enabling AI applications to interact with various tools and data regardless of the AI provider. Key components include an MCP Server to expose resources and tools, an MCP Client (the AI application), and defined transports for communication, simplifying the development of AI-powered features by reducing custom integration work.
