A new method for integrating AI into workflows, called Model Context Protocol (MCP), allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to directly interact with local tools, file systems, and databases from within code editors. Developers can build practical applications, such as a team task tracker, using Python, FastMCP, and SQLite. This approach enables local-first, private data handling and multi-user synchronization, with an example demonstrating integration with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code via a shared cloud storage service like Microsoft OneDrive.
