MCP is to AI what HTTP is to the web — a standard protocol that lets any AI model talk to any tool, regardless of vendor. Before MCP, integrating an LLM with a custom tool required vendor-specific code (OpenAI Function Calling, Anthropic Tool Use, Gemini Function Calling — all different). MCP unifies them: write a tool once, use it with any MCP-compatible model. By 2026, the MCP ecosystem includes thousands of servers exposing capabilities (database access, file systems, GitHub, Slack, etc.) and most major AI platforms (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex) speak MCP natively. For developers, MCP is the path to vendor-independent AI integrations.

СВЯЗАННЫЕ ТЕРМИНЫ
AI Agent
An AI system that uses LLMs not just to chat, but to plan, take actions (call APIs, run code, browse the web), and pursue multi-step goals autonomously.
LLM (Large Language Model)
An AI system trained on massive text datasets to predict and generate human-like text — the technology behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and most modern AI chatbots.
