Model Context Protocol (MCP)

BytapaScript

Also known as: MCP

In a nutshell

A standard way to connect AI models to tools and data.

What it means

A standard protocol that helps AI applications connect to external tools, resources and prompt templates.

💡 A universal adapter that lets different devices connect to compatible accessories.

Code example

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "./"]
    }
  }
}

Why it matters

It reduces the need for separate custom integrations for every AI client and makes capabilities reusable across compatible clients.

Common misconception

MCP is a protocol, not a tool or a model.

When to use it

  • Connecting AI to your own tools
  • Giving agents file and database access
