What are MCP Servers?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are standardized interfaces that let AI agents like Claude interact with external systems safely and efficiently.
Instead of building custom integrations for each tool, MCP provides a universal protocol - think of it as "USB for AI agents."
