The world of AI applications is evolving rapidly, and with it comes the need for better ways to connect AI models with various data sources and tools. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a groundbreaking solution that’s transforming how we build AI applications. Developed by Anthropic, MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs).
Think of MCP as the USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a universal way to connect your devices to various peripherals — whether it’s a charger, external drive, or display — MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. This standardization is revolutionizing the AI development landscape.
The Evolution: From REST APIs to MCP
Understanding Traditional REST APIs
Before diving into MCP, let’s understand how AI applications traditionally worked. In the past, most AI applications relied heavily on…
