In this episode I break down MCP (Model Context Protocol): what it is, why Anthropic created it, and why it matters for anyone using AI tools. I cover MCP servers, the two-party connection, the API relationship, and the three main concerns to keep in mind when using MCPs. Fair warning: this one is mildly techy, far less than past episodes, but I do believe MCP is a term we're going to start hearing a lot more, so we’re getting curious and talking about it now.
