MCP Standardizes AI Integration With Systems

MCP (Model Context Protocol) launched in November 2024 and defines an open standard that lets AI models connect to external tools and data sources. The article explains MCP's resources-and-tools model, provides SDK examples and recommends starting with read-only servers. It warns of current gaps — authentication, discovery, sandboxing, and auditing — and urges sandboxed testing while the community matures.
