24- The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a modern standard that transforms AI agents
25- from passive responders into action-oriented systems. By standardizing how tools
26- are described, discovered, and invoked, MCP enables agents to securely query
27- APIs, access data, and run services across different environments.

29- As agents move into production, MCP solves common integration challenges —
30- interoperability, reliability, and security — by providing a consistent,
31- decoupled, and scalable interface between agents and tools. Just as containers
32- redefined software deployment, MCP is reshaping how AI systems interact with the

43+ ## MCP servers
44+
45+ MCP servers are systems that use the [ Model Context Protocol] ( https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol ) (MCP) to help manage
46+ and run AI or machine learning models more efficiently. MCP allows different
47+ parts of a system, like the model, data, and runtime environment, to
48+ communicate in a standardized way. You can see them as
49+ add-ons that provide specific tools to an LLM.
