Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes AI assistant integration with business tools

Developed initially by Anthropic and later donated to the Agentic AI Foundation, MCP allows AI clients to access data and execute actions through standardized MCP servers. This protocol aims to simplify integrations, reduce custom development, and enable AI assistants to interact with business systems like CRMs, databases, and customer support platforms. However, the protocol also introduces security risks, such as excessive access and prompt injection, which require careful management through strict permissions and human approval for sensitive actions.
