A new protocol called Model Context Protocol (MCP) aims to standardize how AI models interact with external tools and data. Similar to how USB-C unified device connections, MCP provides a single connection method for AI applications to access resources like databases or email. This allows developers to write integrations once and use them with any compatible AI client, enhancing security and fostering an ecosystem of community-built servers. AI
IMPACT Standardizes AI integrations, enabling easier connection to external tools and data for AI applications.
