modelcontextprotocol

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source specification that establishes a standardized way for AI applications, like large language models, to securely access and interact with external data sources and tools. It is designed for developers building AI-powered integrations, offering a universal "USB-C port" for connecting models to diverse systems like databases, APIs, and file systems. This is interesting because it simplifies and unifies the fragmented landscape of AI tool integration, enabling more capable and context-aware AI agents without custom code for each connection.
