The original headline is "What Is MCP (Model Context Protocol) and Why Everyone Is Talking About It"

Short summary

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI assistants communicate with external tools—like a USB-C standard for AI. Instead of building separate integrations for each service, developers expose capabilities through a single interface. This enables AI to perform complex multi-step workflows (search files, summarize, send emails) without manual switching.

• •MCP standardizes AI-to-tool communication, eliminating separate integrations for each service.
• •Developers expose capabilities through a single MCP interface, simplifying AI application architecture.
• •Enables complex workflows where AI autonomously performs multi-step tasks without manual app-switching.
