The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect AI applications with external systems, akin to USB-C for AI. It enables LLMs like Claude or ChatGPT to interact with enterprise databases, tools, and services such as Figma or GitHub. Developers can implement MCP by setting up an MCP server, which involves defining Resources, Tools, and Prompts, and can be configured as either STDIO-based for local use or HTTP-based for web applications and distributed systems.
