// What it actually means

Model Context Protocol: an open standard, introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, that lets AI applications connect to external tools and data through one common interface. An MCP server is a small program that exposes one tool or data source (GitHub, a database, your notes) to any agent that speaks the protocol.
