What is MCP? Why Does Claude Need It?
If you have used Claude, you probably know it is very smart but has a noticeable limitation — it can only chat, write code, and analyze documents. It cannot create art, make music, search real-time information, or generate videos.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is designed to solve this problem.
¶ MCP Explained in One Sentence
MCP is a standard protocol that allows AI assistants to call external tools. It's like installing apps on a phone — Claude itself is the phone, and the MCP Server is various apps; once installed, new capabilities are unlocked.
