MCP (Model Context Protocol) provides a standardized way for LLMs to interact with tools and capabilities, solving the M×N integration problem where every tool needs manual connection to every model. The protocol enables dynamic tool discovery, plug-and-play interoperability between systems like Claude and Cursor, and transforms AI development from prompt engineering to systems engineering. MCP uses a Host-Client-Server architecture with JSON-RPC communication and supports various transport mechanisms including Stdio and HTTP.
