Episode notes
Emergence of Agentic AI Layer
- Organizations evolve from simple AI assistants to complex agentic AI layers integrating multiple tools.
- This layered approach unifies interactions with unstructured, structured data, automations, and APIs.
Need for Standardized Tool Integration
- AI models connect to external tools via APIs to leverage specialized capabilities they lack.
- Without standards, integrating diverse tools required custom, incompatible code in each system.
MCP as Middleware Standard
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes AI-tool interactions like HTTP standardized web communications.
- MCP acts as middleware, enabling interoperable, pluggable AI agent architectures with external resources.
