Overview
Model Context Protocol (MCP) agents use a standardized protocol to connect AI agents with external services, tools, and data sources. MCP provides a unified interface for agents to interact with GitHub, Notion, browsers, calendars, and many other services through consistent server implementations.What is MCP? Model Context Protocol is an open protocol that standardizes how AI applications connect to data sources and tools. It enables interchangeable integrations and reduces the complexity of building agent-service connections.
