Everyone now is hyping about MCP recent release from Anthropic, but it is very simple. Just a framework to enable LLMs to act like agents (i.e., structured way to enable LLMs to speak with functions / tools). LangChain and other frameworks did this a year ago! Apparently AI API providers are realizing the importance of being a one-stop-shop for developers and not only an "API provider".

Thrilled to see Anthropic open source the Model Context Protocol (MCP). At AI Squared, we’ve always believed in the importance of standard interfaces, our multiwoven protocol was created to simplify building ETL/RETL connectors through common abstractions. MCP has the potential to become the "Kafka protocol" for LLMs, making it easier for AI models to access and query data seamlessly. If this becomes an industry standard, it could open up more data systems for AI.

Anthropic has launched the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an #opensource standard that aims to solve one of AI's key limitations: the ability to securely and efficiently access relevant data across different systems. This protocol creates a standardized way for AI models to connect with various data sources, from content repositories to business tools, potentially transforming how AI assistants interact with enterprise data. Key Points: 👉 MCP is released as an open-source standard for connecting AI systems to various data sources 👉 The protocol includes SDKs, local server support in Claude Desktop apps, and open-source repository of servers 👉 Pre-built MCP servers are available for common platforms (such as Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Git, Postgres, and Puppeteer) 👉 Notable early adopters include Block and Apollo (with with companies such as Zed, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph working on integrations) 👉 Developers can test MCP connectors immediately, with Claude for Work customers able to test MCP servers locally 👉 The system aims to replace multiple custom integrations with a single, standardized protocol For enterprises, MCP could substantially reduce the technical overhead of integrating AI with existing business systems and data sources. Instead of building and maintaining multiple custom integrations, companies can adopt a single protocol that works across different tools and platforms. This not only simplifies implementation but also makes it easier to scale AI capabilities across the organization while maintaining security and control over sensitive data. For example, lets take RAG. MCP could significantly streamline and improve RAG implementations by providing a standardized way to connect AI models with the various data sources, making the retrieval component much more robust and easier to implement at scale ie. Instead of building custom connectors for each data source (databases, document stores, knowledge bases), organizations could use a single MCP protocol. This standardization would make it easier to add new data sources to a RAG pipeline without additional integration work and could be particularly valuable for enterprises that need to implement RAG across complex, heterogeneous data environments where maintaining multiple custom integrations would be impractical (or too costly). https://lnkd.in/eFQA56kw #AI #EnterpriseAI
