MCP (Model Context Protocol)
An open standard for connecting AI models to external data sources and tools.
📖 Apprentice Explanation
MCP is like a universal adapter that lets AI tools connect to your data — emails, files, databases, and more. It standardizes how AI accesses information, making integrations easier and more secure.
🧙 Archmage Notes
Developed by Anthropic, MCP provides a standardized protocol for LLM-tool communication. It defines server/client architecture, tool schemas, and resource access patterns. Adopted by Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI coding tools for extensible integrations.
