📌Overview

Purpose: To provide a standardized communication framework that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact seamlessly with external systems and services.

Overview: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a powerful standard designed for enhancing the capabilities of LLMs through consistent interface mechanisms. It allows LLMs to access tools and resources, streamlining their integration with various external data sources and services while ensuring security and extensibility.

Key Features:

• Consistent Interface: Provides standardized methods for LLMs to effectively communicate with tools and resources, enhancing interoperability.

• Enhanced Capabilities: Empowers LLMs to interact with databases, APIs, and local systems, facilitating more complex operations and workflows.

• Security & Control: Implements structured access patterns with built-in validation to ensure safe interactions with external systems.

• Extensibility: Simplifies the process of implementing new capabilities as system needs evolve, allowing for continuous adaptation and improvement.
