Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI systems, such as language models, to external tools and data sources in a consistent, interoperable way.
MCP was open-sourced by Anthropic in November 2024 as a standard way to connect AI assistants to the systems where data actually lives, replacing custom, one-off integrations with a single common protocol.
