MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard describing how to connect external tools and data sources to models. Instead of writing separate integrations for each chat and each application, you create one "MCP server" (e.g., database access, drive, enterprise system) that any compatible assistant can use. The standard initiated by Anthropic quickly gained adoption across the industry and is called "USB for AI." For users, it means a growing library of ready-made plugins; for companies - one thoughtful bridge between AI and their own systems instead of dozens of ad-hoc connectors.
