    Understanding MCP

    The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools.

    What is MCP? MCP provides a standardized way for AI assistants like Claude to connect with external systems. Think of it as a universal adapter that lets Claude interact with databases, APIs, file systems, and more.

    Architecture MCP follows a client-server architecture:

    • MCP Hosts: Programs like Claude Desktop that want to access data through MCP
    • MCP Clients: Protocol clients that maintain 1:1 connections with servers
    • MCP Servers: Lightweight programs that expose data and functionality via the protocol

    Key Capabilities

    • Resources: Expose data and content from your systems
    • Tools: Provide executable functions that Claude can call
    • Prompts: Define reusable prompt templates and workflows
    • Sampling: Allow servers to request LLM completions through the client
