What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) defined simply — how AI clients connect to tools and context.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard-style approach for exposing tools and context to AI applications so integrations are reusable and clearer than ad-hoc plugins.
See the MCP tutorial for practical framing, and the AI agents guide for where MCP fits in agent design.
