Buzz of MCP!

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that defines how AI models (agents) can communicate with a central server in a structured and reusable way.

  • Think of it like a plug-and-play system:
  • You build a model or an agent.
  • Register it with an MCP server.
  • Any application can now ask that agent to perform a task (like summarizing text, fetching news, etc.) using a standard JSON-based API.

But why MCP ?
Most AI projects are such that β€” input goes into one model and gives one output.

  • MCP changes the game by allowing you to:
  • Build modular, reusable AI agents.
  • Chain them together.
  • Swap one model with another without changing the entire app.

Lets say :

  • You want to fetch the latest headlines from NewsAPI
  • Summarize them using ChatGPT or OpenRouter. (However ,both are paid πŸ₯²)
  • Serve the summary through an MCP server

MCP makes AI projects modular, scalable, and clean. πŸ˜‰

I'm currently working on a project based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). If anyone has additional resources or insights, I'd really appreciate it if you could share themβ€”it would be a great help!
