What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools and data sources. Think of it as USB-C for AI: one spec, many compatible plugs.

An MCP server exposes a specific capability (filesystem access, a database, your Linear workspace). An MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, Windsurf, Cline — connects to it. Want the longer definition? Read the glossary entry.
