Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows language models to communicate with external systems and services through standardized APIs, expanding their capabilities. It facilitates interaction between models and various systems by connecting them via MCP servers, which act as intermediaries. Examples include MCP servers in Node.js offering stdio and SSE transports, enabling testing and integration with tools like GitHub Copilot Chat. MCP enhances models’ access to external data and actions in a flexible, protocol-driven manner.
