The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is proposed as a standardized method for AI agents to interact with software, aiming to reduce the complexity and maintenance burden of custom integrations. Instead of building separate connections for each AI platform like ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor, MCP allows software to expose capabilities through a common protocol designed specifically for AI agents. This approach mirrors the industry's earlier shift towards standardized APIs for application-to-application communication, promising better interoperability and lower maintenance costs for SaaS companies.
