The original title is: "MCP Servers Explained: How Claude Code Connects to Everything"

Short summary

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI models like Claude Code interact with external tools and data sources through a unified client-server protocol. The article explains MCP's architecture—tools, resources, and prompts—and walks through building a TypeScript MCP server with a working code example. It covers practical integrations including browser automation, GitHub, databases, Figma, and Slack, plus multi-server workflow combinations.
