This article may provide you with a little bit more information about the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard used by applications to expose services to AI systems. It includes an example of an MCP directive (though in a syntax that is unfamiliar to me (though it may just be comments)). The main reason I'm running this post today is to restate a point I heard on TWIT this week, that MCP is likely a transitional technology, and that future AI will probably not need a standardized way to access application services.
