# Model Context Protocol

## Overview
Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a standard pattern for connecting AI applications to tools, data, and interactive capabilities through structured servers and clients. In this wiki it also includes MCP Apps and agent-facing interfaces that expose richer actions or UI surfaces to models.

## Conference Context
MCP emerged from the need to standardize how AI clients discover and call tools, access resources, and integrate with external systems. It sits in the lineage of plugin APIs, language-server style tooling, RPC, browser extensions, and developer-tool protocols.

## Significance
Agents are only as useful as the tools and context they can safely access. MCP reduces one-off integrations, gives tool providers a common surface, and helps clients reason about capabilities, permissions, and interaction patterns.

## Applied Use
Define focused MCP servers with clear tools, schemas, resources, and permission boundaries. Keep tool names concrete, return structured results, test with inspectors, and design for least privilege. For MCP Apps, treat UI and iframe boundaries as part of the security and product contract.

MCP is useful in IDEs, desktop assistants, enterprise data connectors, browser agents, design tools, developer platforms, and internal operations systems.

Use MCP when multiple AI clients need access to the same tools or when a tool provider wants a standard agent-facing integration. For a single narrow app, direct APIs may be simpler until reuse or interoperability matters.
