INSIGHT

MCP Is An Open Standard For AI

MCP is an open standard that connects LLMs and AI assistants to data and tools.
It acts like the Language Server Protocol but for AI, enabling broad interoperability.

INSIGHT

Standards Lower The Barrier To Entry

Open standards like MCP let newer models adopt a common protocol to gain adoption quickly.
They reduce reinvention and accelerate ecosystem growth by enabling plug-and-play compatibility.

ADVICE

Fetch Live Context To Avoid Hallucinations

Use MCP to feed live context from services like GitHub into LLMs to reduce hallucinations.
Connect models to source systems so outputs reflect actual, up-to-date data instead of guesses.
