Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The revolutionary standard that enables AI models to seamlessly connect with external tools, databases, and APIs. Build smarter AI applications with standardized context sharing.
What is Model Context Protocol?
**Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard developed by Anthropic that defines how AI applications can securely connect to external data sources and tools.
Think of MCP as a universal translator that allows AI models like Claude to:
- Access real-time data from databases and APIs
- Execute code and interact with development tools
- Search through documents and knowledge bases
- Integrate with productivity tools and services
🔧 Standardized Integration
One protocol works across all MCP-compatible tools
🔒 Secure by Design
Built-in permissions and access controls
âš¡ Real-time Context
AI gets live data, not just training information
🚀 Developer Friendly
Simple setup with extensive documentation
