For those completely lost on what MCP means: https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol

It's not clear what benefit or use this is intended to provide (presumably they would have detailed its functionality if they intended to communicate this), but I assume it's ~super meaningful. I assume it's~ a scraping endpoint to add a url.

Edit: can't figure out how to use strikeout; please interpret the tildes as such.

Yes! Sorry. MCP is a new protocol from anthropic to standardize sharing tools and context with LLMs. Before, the tool calling api from openai was standard but tool makers all built their own mechanisms for defining and sharing tools.

It's a bit of a stretch but MCP is to LLM enabled applications what REST is to web applications.
