**MCP and RAG**: As mentioned in the video, MCP tools have conceptual overlap
15+
with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). RAG is a technique where an LLM
16+
retrieves relevant information from external sources and uses that information
17+
to augment its response generation. With MCP tools, the LLM similarly
18+
retrieves data from your server through tool calls, then uses that data to
19+
enhance its responses—making MCP a form of RAG architecture.
