Picture every AI tool in your stack as a fancy new gadget that insists on its own proprietary charging cable. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the industry’s plan to throw those spaghetti‑wires in the trash by giving large‑language‑model apps a universal “USB‑C port.” First open‑sourced by Anthropic in November 2024 and embraced by OpenAI’s Agents SDK in March 2025, MCP streams the live context—code commits, CRM tickets, ERP invoices—directly into your models so they answer with insider knowledge instead of generic guesses. In short: fewer hacks, richer answers, happier humans.
