MCP
MCP standardizes how an AI application connects to external tools and data, instead of every pairing needing its own custom integration code.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) — MCP is an open standard for connecting an AI application to external tools and data — one shared interface instead of custom code for every pairing.
- MCP Server — is a specific, running program that implements the protocol for one system — the concrete thing you connect to, not the protocol itself.
