Anthropic has developed the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable AI models like Claude to interact seamlessly with external tools, applications, and real-world information.
- MCP allows AI assistants to go beyond their pre-trained knowledge by accessing live data, executing commands, and interacting with user-defined tools.
- It functions by defining a clear communication standard between an AI 'client' (like Claude) and 'servers' that represent external resources or tools.
- This protocol enables functionalities such as accessing databases, controlling software, browsing the web, and performing complex actions that require up-to-date information.
- The integration significantly enhances AI's utility, transforming assistants into versatile agents capable of dynamic problem-solving and complex task execution within diverse digital environments.
