MCP (Model Context Protocol) - Build AI-native servers with tools, resources, and prompts. TypeScript/Python SDKs for Claude Desktop integration.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) - AI-Native Server Development Overview Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external data sources and tools. Build servers that expose tools (functions LLMs can call), resources (data LLMs can read), and prompts (templates LLMs can use). Key Concepts: Tools: Functions LLMs can execute (read files, query APIs, run commands) Resources: Data sources LLMs can access (files, databases, APIs) Prompts: Reusable templates with arguments for common tasks Client-Server: MCP servers expose capabilities, clients (like Claude Desktop) consume them Transport: STDIO (local), SSE (Server-Sent Events), HTTP (network) Official SDKs: TypeScript: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk Python: mcp
