What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. It provides a standardized way for AI agents to communicate with external servers and access their capabilities.

​
How MCP Works

MCP creates a bridge between your AI agents and external tool servers:
  1. Server Registration: You configure an MCP server by specifying its connection details
  2. Tool Discovery: The framework automatically discovers available tools from the server
  3. Tool Execution: When your agent needs a tool, the framework handles communication with the MCP server
  4. Result Handling: Results are returned to your agent in a standardized format

​
Key Benefits

  • Extensive Ecosystem: Access thousands of community-developed and official tools
  • No Custom Development: Use pre-built tools without writing integration code
  • Standardized Protocol: Consistent interface across different tool providers
  • Live Updates: Servers can update tools without changing your code
