In late 2024, Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new open standard designed to facilitate the integration of large language models (LLMs) with external data and services. MCP standardizes how AI applications interact with external sources, similar to how USB-C provides a universal connection. Unlike APIs which require individual configurations, MCP allows AI agents to dynamically discover and use new capabilities without code changes. While MCP is purpose-built for AI tasks, it often uses traditional APIs under the hood, offering a more AI-friendly interface.
