Introduction
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to connect with external tools and data sources in a consistent, secure way. Think of it as a universal language that lets AI assistants communicate with different systems; whether that's your company's internal tools, third-party APIs, or intelligent workflow platforms like Tines.
