This project delves into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as an innovative alternative to traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. It offers a standardized method for AI applications to seamlessly access external data sources and integrate various tools. Built with TypeScript and leveraging Node.js alongside the MCP TypeScript SDK, this server is specifically designed to thoroughly evaluate the effectiveness, performance, flexibility, and maintainability of MCP compared to RAG approaches in diverse AI workflows, including applications like Nutrimate.
