Gen AI is nothing without your stuff! Integrating proprietary data and APIs into AI systems is often complex and inconsistent. MCP (Model Context Protocol) creates an open-source standardized interface that solves this problem. It enables structured, efficient interactions between LLMs and external systems - enabling completely new and sophisticated use cases Your data sources and APIs/tools can be added at runtime without code changes, allowing for dynamic expansion of AI applications. With this plug-and-play architecture, MCP becomes the "USB-C interface" for AI integration and for AI agents, seamlessly and flexibly connecting context, queries, and tooling. Let's take a look!
