The Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Anthropic. The protocol's designers — Theo Chu, David Soria Parra and Alex Albert — walking through why MCP exists, the components (server, client, transport), the reception since the November 2024 release, and which servers they actually use day-to-day. Useful as the canonical source after the Nate Herk overview.
AI Expert note
This is canonical context, not a complete production guide. Protocol details are useful, but deployment security, auth, network exposure and tool permissions still need current documentation review.
What you should get from this
Understand the protocol roles: host, client, server, tools, resources, prompts and transports.
Watch or know first
Watch or read a plain-language MCP overview first if protocol terms are new.
