Article Summary
Databricks has announced managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, now available in public preview. These servers offer a standardized way for Large Language Models (LLMs) to access tools that interact with external data sources and perform actions, simplifying deployment and management. The solution integrates with Unity Catalog, providing secure and governed access to enterprise data for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) use cases. It also connects with Mosaic AI for serving and inference, enabling LLMs to utilize business-specific tools. This capability helps developers build sophisticated AI assistants and agents that can interact with real-time enterprise data and APIs.
