Model Context Protocol (MCP) is identified as the crucial missing piece for advanced enterprise AI applications.
- It offers a standardized framework for AI models to securely and efficiently access external data, tools, and proprietary enterprise systems.
- MCP aims to overcome limitations of current RAG and function calling in managing context, ensuring data privacy, and orchestrating complex, multi-step enterprise workflows.
- The protocol is designed to enhance context management, improve data security, and provide significant operational efficiency and scalability for AI deployments.
- It facilitates true agentic behavior by enabling AI systems to seamlessly integrate and orchestrate interactions with proprietary databases, ERP, CRM, and legacy systems.
