MCP Explained: The USB-C of AI (Model Context Protocol)

Description

What is the Model Context Protocol and why is every major AI company adopting it? MCP is the open standard that lets any AI model connect to any tool — databases, APIs, file systems, and more — through one universal protocol. Created by Anthropic and now adopted by OpenAI, Google, and the entire AI industry, MCP is doing for AI what USB did for hardware. In this video, we break down: • The N×M integration problem MCP solves • Client-server architecture (Hosts, Clients, Servers) • Three primitives: Tools, Resources, and Prompts • Transport layers: stdio vs HTTP+SSE • Security model (OAuth 2.1, human-in-the-loop) • Real-world example: AI code review pipeline • MCP vs Google's A2A protocol • How to build your first MCP server 🔗 Official docs: https://modelcontextprotocol.io 📦 MCP SDK: npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk #MCP #ModelContextProtocol #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Programming #Developer #Tech #AITools #MachineLearning #SoftwareEngineering 📝 Read the full article: https://dev.to/tyson_cung/mcp-is-the-usb-c-of-ai-heres-why-every-major-company-adopted-it-2f00 🔥 Related Videos: • 💻 Developers Don't Write Code Anymore — AI Changed Everything #shorts: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rV2TNhJlQGY • 💻 The MacBook Air Just Got an AI Brain — M5 Changes Everything #shorts: https://youtube.com/watch?v=gEla_eTwRto • 🏛️ The US Just Dropped a Federal AI Rulebook — Here's What It Means #shorts: https://youtube.com/watch?v=fgiGojzUEvg • ARM Is Making Its OWN AI Chips — Nvidia Should Be Worried #shorts: https://youtube.com/watch?v=RGMB0NvkirU
