The Cisco AI blog discusses Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a critical standard for agentic AI, drawing parallels to network protocols.
- MCP enables AI models (MCP Clients) to dynamically request tools and external context from specialized MCP Servers.
- This architecture addresses limitations of large context windows by allowing on-demand information retrieval.
- The article introduces "Agent to Agent" (A2A) communication as a future necessity for complex AI workflows, building on MCP principles.
- It frames assistant tools as network services, suggesting a future need for "AI Network Engineering" to manage these interoperable agent systems.
