MCP Overview
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a conversion interface designed to enable LLMs (Large Language Models) to effectively interact with external resources. This protocol transforms text-format queries into API calls to access specific resources, allowing LLMs to provide more accurate and useful responses.
Key Components
- MCP Client: Interface that receives user questions, processes them, and returns final answers
- MCP Server: Server that converts text to API calls and communicates with specific resources
- LLM: Language model that analyzes questions and generates answers utilizing resource information
Operational Flow
- User submits a question to the MCP Client
- MCP Client forwards external resource requests to the MCP Server
- MCP Server transforms text-format requests into API call format
- MCP Server executes API calls to specific resources
- Resources return results to the MCP Server
- MCP Server provides resource information to the MCP Client
- LLM analyzes the question and generates an answer using all provided resources
- MCP Client returns the final answer to the user
Core Features
- Provides an interface for converting text-based requests to API calls
- Enables access to specific resource solutions
- Integrates seamlessly with LLMs
- Generates enhanced responses by leveraging external data sources
