The Model Context Protocol (MCP) seeks to address the integration challenges faced by AI assistants when interacting with various applications. Currently, AI tools are limited to scripted functions, unable to perform tasks like booking flights or sending emails without custom integration. MCP proposes a standard language for AI agents and tools, allowing seamless communication akin to the universal USB standard. This framework simplifies development by reducing the need for extensive custom code and enables AI agents to efficiently utilize various services by easily requesting information and actions from a centralized server.
AI assistants can perform tasks limited by their integration with various applications. The Model Context Protocol aims to create a universal solution for AI tool connectivity.
MCP serves as a proposed set of rules that allows any AI agent to communicate with different tools without requiring numerous custom integrations, similar to USB's standardization.
Developers currently face challenges in integrating AI with tools due to the need for unique connections for each application. MCP simplifies this by centralizing interactions.
The process of using MCP involves a handshake between the AI agent and the server, getting a list of available tools, followed by making a specific request.
