Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a pivotal technology for enhancing AI assistant capabilities and significantly improving the user experience. MCP empowers large language models (LLMs), such as those used in Claude Desktop, to access real-time external data, tools, and APIs, thereby overcoming their inherent knowledge cutoffs and enabling dynamic interactions. The protocol facilitates advanced functionalities including web browsing, database lookups, and seamless interaction with complex enterprise systems. For UX designers, MCP allows for the creation of more accurate, relevant, and context-aware AI-powered applications that deliver reliable information. It enables AI assistants to evolve into intelligent agents, capable of executing tasks that demand up-to-date information and interaction with a diverse range of external services.
