What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that gives AI assistants a live connection to external tools and data. Think of it like a USB port for AI — instead of pasting your docs into a chat window, your AI tool connects directly and can read, search, and act on your content in real time.

	For	What it does
