Agents and MCPs

What are MCPs?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that enables secure and structured communication between AI models, applications, and external data sources or tools. MCP servers provide services or functionalities (e.g., integrations, task execution, or enhanced AI model features) that can be accessed by MCP clients like PlayHub or Aura.

Key Features of MCP:

• Standardized Communication: MCP defines how clients and servers exchange data for consistency across different implementations.

• Extensibility: New functionalities can be added without disrupting existing systems.

• Security by Design: MCP ensures secure data handling and access control.

Agents and Applications as MCPs

Agents are designed to handle specialized, complex tasks and automations, reducing the need for users to constantly provide prompts. These agents become even more powerful when integrated into the MCP ecosystem, where they can interact with other MCP servers or act as MCP servers themselves.

By leveraging MCP services, agents can adapt to diverse contexts, enhancing their capabilities and ensuring seamless collaboration across tools and applications. This transforms agents into highly flexible, efficient, and productive components of a unified system.
