What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs - think of it like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect devices to various peripherals, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. Compozy implements this protocol to provide you with a robust and standardized integration system.
