What is MCP?
MCP is an open standard that serves as a universal adapter between AI models and external data sources, tools, and services. Before MCP, AI models were isolated from real-time information and external systems. Now, they can seamlessly access and interact with the tools we use daily.
How MCP Works
MCP uses a client-server architecture:
- MCP clients (embedded in AI applications) request information or actions
- MCP servers provide secure access to external systems and APIs
