Audio Generated by Google NotebookLM AI
Description
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for AI applications to interact with external data and tools. The documentation details MCP's architecture, which involves clients, hosts, and servers communicating via JSON-RPC. It specifies the lifecycle of connections, from initialization and capability negotiation to shutdown, and describes core concepts like resources for data sharing, tools for executing functions, and prompts for reusable interaction templates. Furthermore, the material provides guidance for server developers using SDKs (like Python), highlights security considerations, and offers a roadmap for future development of the protocol.
