Connect AI applications to external tools and data through a common protocol instead of building every integration from scratch.
The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, provides a standardized way for AI applications to connect with external tools and data sources. Instead of creating a completely different integration for every AI application, an MCP-based system can expose capabilities through a common interface.
LangChain can work with MCP-based tools and resources, making it easier to connect agents to external systems. Understanding MCP becomes increasingly useful when building agents that need access to many independently maintained tools.
