AI/agentssrc: Anthropic MCP spec

model context protocol

A universal language that allows AI apps to easily plug into different data sources and tools, much like a standard USB port allows any device to connect to a computer.

An open protocol that standardizes the connection between LLM applications and external data or tools, eliminating the need for custom, one-off integrations for every new model or service.

An open standard (MCP) defining a client-server architecture that decouples LLM applications from their integrations by standardizing the interface for exposing and consuming tools, resources, and prompts.
