Model Context Protocol (MCP): A New Language for AI
GenAI adoption is becoming more widespread in the enterprise, resulting in a growing complexity of AI models and systems.
Large Language Model (LLM) use is evolving into autonomous agents capable of learning, reasoning, and acting independently, creating a need for a standardized language.
How do models speak the same language as tools, data sources, other models, and users?
Introduction to Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI models to interact with tools, APIs, and memory in a structured, controlled way, standardizing the format for function calls, tool usage, memory, and state.
MCP promises to eliminate the need for custom integrations for each new data source, allowing for more efficient and auditable interactions.
Author's summary: MCP is a new language standard for AI models.
