What is MCP?
MCP (Model Connection Protocol) is an open standard that acts as a universal bridge between AI models and the tools, data, and services we rely on every day.
Before MCP, most AI models operated in silos — powerful but disconnected from real-time systems and external apps. Now, with MCP, models can interact with the world, triggering actions, pulling live data, and working across platforms without custom integrations.
⚙️ How MCP Works
MCP is built on a lightweight client-server architecture:
-
MCP Clients are embedded in AI applications (like Claude, GPT, or others) and initiate requests for data or actions.
-
MCP Servers act as secure, extensible gateways to external systems, tools, and APIs.
This setup allows AI agents to plug directly into your daily workflows — without the need for complex APIs or middleware.
