What is Model Context Protocol? The USB-C for AI Agents

Description

What if your AI agent had a USB-C port? 🔌 In this video, we do a full deep dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard introduced by Anthropic that is completely changing how AI agents connect to tools, data, and workflows. If you've ever struggled with wiring AI models to external systems, this one's for you. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction & The USB-C Analogy 1:10 - Section 1: The Evolution of AI Tools 1:50 - Section 2: The Integration Nightmare (M×N Problem) 2:46 - Section 3: Enter Model Context Protocol 4:15 - Section 4: REST vs MCP Architecture Showdown 5:35 - Section 5: Building Your First MCP Server 6:15 - Section 6: When to Use MCP vs REST 7:19 - MCP Security: Prompt Injection Risks 8:14 - Final Thoughts & The Future of AI 🔥 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ What MCP is and why it matters ✅ The M×N integration problem and how MCP solves it ✅ How MCP compares to traditional REST APIs ✅ How to build an MCP server in Python ✅ When to use MCP vs function calling ✅ MCP security risks you need to know 📌 NEXT IN THE SERIES: → How to Build Your First MCP Server (Step-by-Step) → MCP + Claude Desktop Integration → MCP vs LangChain Tools — Which Should You Use? 🔔 Subscribe for more AI explainers every week! --- 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED: - MCP Official Docs: https://modelcontextprotocol.io - Anthropic: https://anthropic.com - Python MCP SDK: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk --- #MCP #ModelContextProtocol #AIAgents #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #AIEngineering #Anthropic #AITools #MachineLearning #AITutorial
