Model Context Protocol standardizes LLM interaction with external tools

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard designed to facilitate communication between Large Language Models (LLMs) and external services. It establishes a common language, enabling AI models to discover and utilize tools, data, and prompts in a standardized manner, irrespective of the underlying technology. MCP clients, such as applications that connect to MCP servers, manage these interactions, making AI systems more modular and scalable. Prominent examples of MCP clients include Apidog, which offers debugging and testing capabilities for MCP servers, and ChatGPT, which leverages the protocol to access external tools for enhanced functionality, particularly in enterprise settings.
