What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to securely connect to external data sources and tools. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications — a standardized way to connect AI apps to different services. With MCP, you can give AI agents like emma access to your tools, databases, APIs, and other services through a unified interface.
