What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

An open protocol for connecting AI to external tools and data sources, giving different AI applications a standard way to connect to company systems.

In detail

In the past, every AI application that needed to connect to a system required its own custom integration. MCP defines a universal “plug standard”: a system provides functions and data according to MCP, and any AI application that supports MCP can use them, reducing duplicated development.

For example

A company builds an MCP service for its own ERP, and employees can query orders and inventory in the same way from different AI assistants.

How companies use it

Suited to companies that want multiple AI applications to access the same set of systems. Authentication and access permissions must still be set up properly when connecting.

Common misconceptions

Assuming that using MCP is automatically secure. The protocol solves “how to connect”; permissions, auditing and data scope still have to be managed by the company.
