Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), released in November 2024, is gaining significant traction in the AI community. This protocol is designed as a standardized method for connecting AI assistants with the systems where data resides, including content repositories, business tools, and development environments. MCP facilitates a consistent manner for applications to provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs), effectively isolating context provision from direct LLM interaction. Thomas Roccia, among others, recognized the value of MCP for AI agents immediately upon its release.

MCP acts as a universal set of rules, enabling seamless communication between clients and servers, regardless of their origin. This interoperability lays the groundwork for a diverse AI ecosystem. It defines how clients interact with servers and how servers manage tools and resources. The protocol aims to standardize the integration of context and tools into AI applications, analogous to the USB-C port for agentic systems, as described by Anthropic.
