The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new approach that changes how AI models interact with APIs. Unlike traditional APIs, which require developers to explicitly instruct models on how to use each tool, MCP allows tools to describe themselves to the model. This provides the AI with a comprehensive 'map' of available functionalities, enabling it to reason and select the appropriate tool for a given task without step-by-step guidance. This shift from explicit instructions to contextual understanding aims to simplify the integration of multiple services into AI agents. AI
