What is MCP?

Overview

MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a protocol for connecting AI assistants to external tools, data sources, and services through a standard interface. It matters because agent and coding workflows increasingly need reliable context access without every app inventing a custom integration layer.

Why it matters

MCP gives AI products a shared integration pattern for tools, files, APIs, and enterprise data.
