Understanding MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Atharva Raykar, on nilenso.com:
Model Context Protocol, like most protocols, solves the M ⨯ N integration problem by turning it into an M + N integration problem.
An AI client application that speaks this protocol does not have to figure out how to fetch data or take actions specific to a platform.
