What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard, introduced by Anthropic, for connecting AI assistants to external tools, data and systems in a consistent way.
MCP lets an AI like Claude securely use your tools and data, making agents and copilots far more useful in real work.
