Model Context Protocol (MCP) acts as a universal translator for AI agents, allowing them to communicate with different tools and services using a standardized language. This protocol simplifies the integration process, enabling AI agents to connect to databases, interact with platforms like GitHub, access cloud services, and manage files and documents efficiently. By standardizing communication, MCP eliminates the need for multiple translators, facilitating effortless collaboration and integration across diverse systems.
