Introduction to Model Context Protocol (mCP)

  • mCP is gaining popularity for connecting AI assistants to data sources.
  • Released by Anthropics, mCP is an open-source standard for AI data source integration.
  • It acts as a plugin to streamline AI access to essential data for development.

Demonstrations of mCP Usage

  • A plugin by 21st Dev uses mCP to connect AI with a component library for frontend development.
  • Another mCP server allows Cloud AI to communicate with Blender for 3D design.

Benefits of mCP

  • Simplifies and standardizes AI connections to files, apps, and databases.
  • Saves time and effort by avoiding custom links for each tool.
  • Enhances AI development, efficiency, and data access while maintaining security and scalability.

How to Use mCP Servers with AI Agents

  • Showcases integration with AI agents like Wind Surf, Cursor, and Klein.
  • Wind Surf allows setting up mCP servers through settings and Cascade settings.
  • Klein, preferred over Rot Code, has a marketplace for ready-made mCP server templates.
  • Categories range from browser automation to databases.

Setting Up mCP Servers

  • Klein can be installed for free from VS Code’s Marketplace.
  • Users can create mCP servers without cost using the VS Code LM API.
  • Example: Creating an mCP server to extract Node.js documentation.
  • The server retrieves file contents or metadata, keeping AI up-to-date with documentation.

Practical Applications of mCP Servers

  • Browser automation server using Puppeteer for tasks like taking screenshots or scraping web content.
  • Subase server for simple database connections and operations within Klein.

Conclusion

  • mCP is a significant advancement by the Anthropics team.
  • The Klein team developed a marketplace to enhance workflows with mCP.
  • Using mCP servers is recommended for better AI context and task execution.
