(I've a recently acquired strong opinion on MCP, beware)

MCP seems to be the idea to expose literally any data source to AI agents as context. E.g, in work/business context: a database, source code, a kanban board; in private context: your photo library, notes, etc. This is good and makes sense.

As a technical "standard" or "protocol" (as it claims to be), it's a total mess, read more here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io. Though I guess they are inventing it as they go.
