The Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Anthropic is a standard designed to enable AI models, specifically Claude, to interact with external tools and real-world information.
- MCP allows AI models to express intent for tool use, receive structured responses from tools, and manage these interactions within a dedicated context window.
- It addresses the limitations of fixed context windows by providing AI with capabilities like dynamic data retrieval, web browsing, database querying, and custom API integrations.
- Key applications include enhancing web browsing, executing code, accessing real-time information, and leveraging internal databases for more accurate and up-to-date responses.
- MCP's objective is to transform AI assistants into more autonomous agents capable of proactively finding and utilizing external resources to accomplish complex, real-world tasks.
