The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard designed to link AI assistants with various data sources and tools, including codebases, APIs, and content repositories. Rather than creating unique integrations for each platform, developers can leverage MCP to establish secure, scalable links between AI models and necessary data. By standardizing this connection layer, MCP allows models to access essential information in real-time, resulting in more precise and context-aware outputs.
David Soria Parra, a Technical Staff Member at Anthropic, co-developed the Model Context Protocol and discusses his career and the future of context-aware AI on the podcast.
Jordi Mon Companys, specializing in software delivery, developer experience, and open-source solutions, has built his career at organizations like GitLab, Weaveworks, and Harness. His interests include software supply chain security and open-source innovation. Reach out to him on Twitter at @jordimonpmm.
