Model Context Protocol (MCP) Quickstart

The article introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a universal framework designed to standardize AI interactions with local and remote resources. This protocol addresses the inefficiencies of early large language models that relied on fragmented custom integrations by offering a unified method for handling context and tools. MCP enables seamless communication across AI applications by defining roles for hosts, clients, and servers, and employing various transport mechanisms like Stdio and HTTP with SSE. With examples and open-source components, the article outlines the protocol's potential to enhance AI interaction seamlessly, although its widespread adoption remains contingent on the support of HTTP transport.
