Tihomir's WordPress Journey
- Tihomir transitioned from mobile development to WordPress after seeing younger developers embrace WordPress sites. He built his first WordPress plugin in 2011 and developed it further into an MCP integration.
MCP's AI Optimization
- MCP is a protocol optimized for AI agents to communicate with APIs, beyond classic REST APIs. It enables asynchronous operations with two separate channels for commands and responses.
