Anthropic Unveils Model Context Protocol for Enhanced AI-Data Integration
Anthropic has introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source tool that allows the Claude chatbot to interact with various data sources, including local files, GitHub, Slack, and web searches. This protocol simplifies the integration process for developers by eliminating the need for custom code for each data source. Currently available as an early development preview for the Claude desktop app on Mac and Windows, MCP represents a significant step towards more seamless human-computer interaction, enabling AI to perform complex tasks like building web apps without user coding.
