The article introduces Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol designed to standardize AI model interaction with external tools and user interfaces.
- MCP aims to streamline tool use for large language models by defining a standardized, declarative method to describe tools and their schemas.
- The protocol involves an MCP server, which provides tools and context (e.g., a code editor), and an MCP client, which is the LLM that requests tool executions.
- MCP simplifies integration of advanced features like real-time code execution, file system access, and rich UI interactions, moving beyond basic function calling.
- Anthropic's upcoming 'Claude Desktop' is highlighted as an example of an MCP server, demonstrating its potential for powerful, context-aware AI assistants.
