This article details the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new approach to integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) like Azure OpenAI with tools. MCP focuses on structured data exchange to improve reliability, observability, and functionality, moving beyond simple text-in, text-out interactions. It aims to standardize how LLMs interact with tools, enhancing their ability to utilize those tools effectively.
This article explores the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol designed to standardize AI interaction with tools and data, addressing the fragmentation in AI agent ecosystems. It details current use cases, future possibilities, and challenges in adopting MCP.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a bridging technology for AI agents and APIs. It standardizes API access for AI agents, making it a universal method for AI agents to trigger external actions.
