What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)? How it simplifies AI integrations compared to APIs

TL;DR


Summary:
- The article explains the difference between the MCP (Model-Context-Protocol) and API (Application Programming Interface) models in software development.
- MCP is a design pattern that separates the application logic into three distinct components: the Model, the Context, and the Protocol, allowing for better modularity and flexibility.
- API, on the other hand, is a set of rules and protocols that define how software components should interact with each other, providing a standardized way for different systems to communicate.
