An agent that can read files, query databases, browse the web, and call APIs is dramatically more useful than one that only processes text. But every tool integration has historically been custom — built for a specific AI platform, requiring platform-specific code, authentication, and deployment patterns.</p> <p>The Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic and released as an open standard, solves this fragmentation. It defines a universal protocol for AI applications to interact with external systems — a standard interface that any AI client can use to discover and invoke tools, access resources, and follow prompts. The official MCP servers repository provides reference implementations that demonstrate the protocol in action for common use cases.</p>
