Article Summary
New support for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) has been added to the Ruby on Rails framework.
- The `model_context_protocol-rails` gem enables Rails applications to function as MCP servers, facilitating interaction with AI models like Claude.
- Developers can define `tool_definitions` and `execute_tool` methods within their Rails applications to expose specific functionalities.
- This integration allows AI models to execute defined tools, stream content, and access real-time data directly from the Rails backend.
- A demonstration showcased Claude querying the RubyGems.org API through a Rails application to retrieve gem details, illustrating practical use cases.
