It allows AI assistants and Large Language Models (LLMs) to dynamically discover and invoke Moodle's external functions using a standardized protocol (MCP with JSON-RPC 2.0). This means AI can understand Moodle's capabilities, call specific functions with proper parameters, and receive structured responses, effectively 'talking' to Moodle.
