The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard, open-source framework introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize the way artificial intelligence (AI) models like large language models (LLMs) integrate and share data with external tools, systems, and data sources. Technology writers have dubbed MCP “the USB-C of AI apps”, underscoring its goal of serving as a universal connector between language-model agents and external software. Designed to standardize context exchange between AI assistants and software environments, MCP provides a model-agnostic universal interface for reading files, executing functions, and handling contextual prompts. It was officially announced and open-sourced by Anthropic in November 2024, and was adopted by major AI providers including OpenAI and Google DeepMind.
