Hi Chris, MCP[1] is a standard protocol which can let agents access external services and tools.
MCP has recently become highly popular in the AI community. MCP helps you build agents and complex workflows on top of LLMs. LLMs frequently need to integrate with data and tools, and MCP provides: - A growing list of pre-built integrations that your LLM can directly plug into - The flexibility to switch between LLM providers and vendors - Best practices for securing your data within your infrastructure For example, with IoTDB MCP Server installed locally, I can configure it in my Claude Desktop, and then I can chat with Claude in natural language to let it retrieve and analyze data from IoTDB for me.
