MCP — Model Context Protocol Is Changing the Rules of AI Integration

Every AI agent needs a different connector for every tool. MCP solves this chaos through standardization. Like USB for AI.

What Is MCP¶

Model Context Protocol is an open standard from Anthropic. It defines how an LLM communicates with external systems. One interface, any tool.

Architecture¶

MCP Host: AI application. MCP Client: Protocol client. MCP Server: Lightweight server exposing data/tools. Transport: stdio or HTTP/SSE.

Why It Matters¶

• Interoperability: An MCP server works with any host
• Ecosystem: The community is building servers for everything
• Standardization: End of the N×M problem

In Practice¶

Internal MCP servers for: PostgreSQL, Confluence, Jira, monitoring. One agent has access to everything through a standard protocol.

MCP Is TCP/IP for AI Agents¶

A standard that will enable the ecosystem. Adopt it for new integrations.
