Understanding MCP Servers
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that allows AI agents to access your tools and data, like documents and emails. This gives models the context needed to understand your specific workflows, making them far more useful than relying on general knowledge alone.
MCP provides a seamless connection between AI applications and your data using a simple client-server architecture. This approach lets you change AI agents or add new features without altering the application.
MCP servers connect to your data sources and tools (e.g., Google Drive, Slack);
MCP clients are used by AI applications (like Claude Desktop) to connect to these servers;
Once permission is granted, the AI application discovers available MCP servers;
The AI model can then access information and perform actions using these connections.
With MCP servers, you can automate tasks by giving your AI access to your files, apps, and tools. It can manage documents, fetch data, control software, and handle repetitive workflows. All through simple prompts.
