Demonstrates the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI assistants to interact with external tools and data sources.
This educational demo provides a hands-on guide to understanding the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a vital standard for enabling AI assistants to connect with external tools and data. Through practical examples, it illuminates the core concepts of defining, listing, and calling tools, the underlying JSON-RPC 2.0 request/response format, and various transport methods like stdio and HTTP. Ideal for developers, it covers everything from setting up local and remote MCP servers and clients using TypeScript to real-world testing with curl and programmatic clients, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.
