The AI company Anthropic open sourced their protocol for making data available to LLMs. An abstraction layer if you like. It's called Model Context Protocol and uses a client server model. An MCP server exposes the data, e.g. DB, to the clients. So, you can use the MCP server to connect your data to Anthropic's Claude for example and use Claude to query the data. Released late 2024 its simplicity has meant it has quickly been widely adopted. MCP has a variety of ways the data source can describe itself. The IoTDB MCP Server only uses some of them but it's a great starting point. >From the viewpoint of my automotive Central Data Service Playground project its a standardised way to make the IoTDB data store available to a wide variety of LLMs. Especially in a research phase.
