The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as a standard for connecting AI models with various tools, aiming to simplify integrations much like Kubernetes did for containerization. This protocol defines three key roles: the Host, which is the user-facing application; the Client, which manages the connection to an MCP Server; and the Server, which exposes tools and resources. Developers can leverage an open-source Python SDK to build MCP servers, with examples including a basic calculator and connecting Claude Desktop to the Exasol database for analytics workflows. AI
