The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source, standardized protocol designed to give AI models agency by allowing them to interact with the outside world. Originating from the need to copy context from external sources into LLM context windows, MCP aims to enable models to reach a new level of usefulness and intelligence by facilitating tool calling and broader interaction capabilities. The protocol prioritizes server simplicity and encourages community contributions to evolve its standards and utility.
