Introducing the Model Context Protocol
- The document discusses the open-sourcing of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data lives, including content repositories, business tools, and development environments.
- The aim of MCP is to help frontier models produce better, more relevant responses by providing a universal, open standard for connecting AI systems with data sources, replacing fragmented integrations with a single protocol.
- This is intended to make it simpler and more reliable to give AI systems access to the data they need, as even the most sophisticated models are currently constrained by their isolation from data trapped behind information silos and legacy systems..
