Before MCP, every AI tool integration was a custom, one-off project. Want your AI assistant to search the web? Build a custom integration. Want it to query your database? Build another one. Want it to read your files? Another one. Each integration was different, fragile, and expensive to maintain.
MCP changes this. Created by Anthropic and now adopted across the industry, the Model Context Protocol is an open standard that provides a single, universal way for AI models to connect to any data source or tool. present or future.
