The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants 
to securely access data from various sources[1]. It was developed by Anthropic 
and released in November 2024[2]. MCP allows language models to interact with 
external tools, databases, and APIs through a standardized interface[1][3].
