🌟 Microsoft MCP Servers

📘 What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to large language models (LLMs). It allows AI applications to connect with various data sources and tools in a consistent manner, enhancing their capabilities and flexibility. MCP follows a client-server architecture:

  • MCP Hosts: Applications like AI assistants or IDEs that initiate connections.
  • MCP Clients: Connectors within the host application that maintain 1:1 connections with servers.
  • MCP Servers: Services that provide context and capabilities through the standardized MCP.
