[ SLANG ][ AI ][ TECH ][ PROTOCOL ]
Short for 'Model Context Protocol'; an open standard that lets AI models connect to external tools, files, and data sources through a common interface instead of one-off custom integrations.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Once I hooked up the MCP server, the model could just query the database directly instead of me copy-pasting results into the chat."
LORE & ORIGIN
Introduced by Anthropic in late 2024 as a way to standardize how AI assistants plug into outside systems, MCP was rapidly adopted across the AI tooling ecosystem through 2025 as developers built MCP servers for everything from databases to design tools.
