Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol designed to standardize how applications provide context to large language models (LLMs). It acts as a universal connector, similar to a USB-C port, allowing LLMs to seamlessly integrate with various data sources and tools. MCP supports a client-server architecture, enabling programs (clients) to interact with lightweight servers that expose specific capabilities. With growing pre-built integrations and flexibility to switch between LLM vendors, MCP helps users build complex workflows and AI agents while ensuring secure data management within their infrastructure.
