MCP & AI Unlocking Agentic Intelligence with a “USB-C Connector” for AI
MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is an open-source standard introduced by Anthropic in November 2024. It’s designed to create a unified bridge between AI models—especially large language models (LLMs)—and external systems like tools, databases, file repositories, and APIs.
Think of MCP as the USB-C port for AI—just plug in, and the AI can access or drive external services without building unique integrations for each connection.
Rather than coding separate connections for each model and tool, MCP uses a consistent, structured way for AI agents (MCP clients) to communicate with “MCP servers” that interface with external systems.

The USB-C for AI analogy nails it, MCP could really be the universal connector we've been missing. Instead of wrestling with a mess of one-off integrations, you just speak MCP and suddenly your LLM can talk to databases, APIs or even file systems like it's second nature.
