The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic to enable large language models (LLMs), including Claude, to efficiently and securely interact with external tools and information sources.
- MCP provides a structured approach for LLMs to overcome limitations of basic function calling and leverage external capabilities.
- The protocol defines core components such as MCP Servers (tool providers), MCP Clients (LLMs), Context Items (information objects), and Actions (tool calls).
- The associated course covers the importance of MCP, its fundamental concepts, and practical steps for writing MCP Servers to integrate external tools with AI assistants.
- Building robust MCP integrations allows AI assistants to go beyond their training data and perform real-world tasks using external resources.
