What is Model Context Protocol?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you’re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.
MCP follows a client-server architecture where:
- Hosts are LLM applications (like Claude Desktop or IDEs) that initiate connections
- Clients maintain 1:1 connections with servers, inside the host application
- Servers provide context, tools, and prompts to clients
