Recently, when I turned on my phone, I was full of all kinds of news about AI, and I was confused, especially "ModelContextProtocol" (MCP). Ding You Ding doesn't understand, and I don't know how much money I have. I think I can't continue to hold my AI concept coin and cry. $GOAT, $AI16Z, and $ACT have trapped me. This time I will get it all back. So I used my big brain to study MCP hard. Guess what, I really understand. It's not a big cousin @cz_binance that AI focuses on practicality. Previously, AI was basically at the level of conversation, automatic tweeting, and underlying technical support that was completely ineffective for us. It turns out that MCP is the future of AI .

Now I will give the results I have spent three days and three nights without any fatigue to all my research to all married and unmarried elder brothers and sisters, so that our kindergarten grandfather can understand them as much as possible.

Chapter 1, What is MCP? The "universal plug" of the AI ​​world

On November 25, 2024, an AI company called Anthropic@AnthropicAI (who developed the Claude smart model) launched MCP. Simply put, MCP is like a "universal plug", allowing AI to easily connect to external data and tools, such as company reports, website content, WEB3 wallet, and even the calendar in your mobile phone.

Imagine that your grandfather (not a swearing) asked the smart speaker: "What arrangements do I have today?" But the speaker couldn't understand the calendar, so he could only answer: "My hen, I don't understand what you are talking about." If there is an MCP, it will jump out and "translate", "You promised the eighth concubine to take her to drink soy sauce early this morning, and the carriage is ready for you" (Just kidding, don't take the seats in the right place), so that the AI ​​can find the answer directly.

Your grandfather (not swearing Ang) said again, "When it comes to the eighth concubine, I helped me buy eight ethers with a Binance wallet" (I invisibly called Guangzi for the Binance wallet @binancezh, and the first sister @heyibinance is you're welcome). This wallet was really bought by grandfather. Not only did the AI ​​say, it did the work, it was better than some XX, and it was so magical.

In the past, AI needed to write a lot of complex code to connect these data. Now with MCP, developers can just plug in this "plug" to make AI smarter and more considerate.

Anthropic says MCP is open source and anyone can use it for free and even improve it. This made many programmers very excited, thinking that it might be the "standard configuration" of AI in the future.

Tips 1: MCP is like installing a "second baby" for AI so that it can understand more data.

Chapter 2: **How did MCP appear? The story starts with the AI ​​boom

in 2023**

You have to know why MCP is so important, and you have to talk about the AI ​​explosion in 2023. That year, OpenAI's ChatGPT became popular, and the whole world was using AI to write articles, draw and chat. But the problem is also: although AI is smart, it cannot see the data in your hands, such as the company's sales records or the photo album at home.

Anthropic's team—a group of big guys who came out of OpenAI—said that's not OK. So it took several years to research and finally launched the MCP by the end of 2024. This thing not only allows AI to "see" more data, but also ensures security and prevents bad silver from stealing privacy.

(A sentence in the interstitial) At this moment, my Web3 AI assets shrank and shrank again and again, and I was so heartbroken that I still felt heartbroken. (Insert broadcast is completed)

The release of MCP also caught up with the highlight of Anthropic: in 2024, they received billions of dollars in investment from Google and Amazon, which made MCP attract much attention as soon as it came out, like a supernova entering a new world.

Tips 2: MCP is the "savior" under the AI ​​craze, solving a big problem - let AI understand your life better than him/her.

Chapter 3: What can MCP do? AI magic that even grandpa can use

The beauty of MCP is that it is so simple that even grandpas who don’t understand technology can feel the benefits. When Anthropic released its MCP, it also launched an application called ClaudeDesktop for everyone to experience it directly.

For example, grandpa asked with Claude: "What am I going to buy recently? (It seems that the queen should ask, it doesn't matter)" In the past, Claude might have only said, "My hen, I don't understand what you are talking about" (come again). But with MCP, Claude can connect to Grandpa’s shopping app through this agreement and immediately tells Grandpa that it’s time to buy a one-piece floral dress - and there’s no need for Grandpa to move a finger!

Grandpa was so happy and very satisfied, and decided to wear it next time the Web3 consensus conference.

Developers can do more with MCP, such as:

  • Use simple code (like Python) to connect AI to company tools;
  • Use ready-made MCP tools to quickly build an intelligent assistant;
  • He even designed a new way of playing, asking AI to help grandpa plan yoga classes or manage housework, or help grandpa fight for a coin.

Anthropic puts MCP code on GitHub, which can be downloaded and tried by anyone, leaving no information gaps in the world and attracting global developers.

Tips 3: MCP is like an "AI magic wand", allowing grandpa to enjoy a smart life.

Chapter 4: **What will happen to the future of MCP? The next big

event in the AI ​​world?**

When MCP was first launched, everyone was wondering: Will it become a "passport" in the AI ​​world? After all, Anthropic is backed by Google and Amazon, and competitors such as Microsoft (which supports OpenAI) and Google (which has its own Gemini) are also staring at this field.

Some people think that MCP may gradually become a must-have "standard" for AI like WiFi in mobile phones. In the future, developers may use it to create more intelligent tools, even grandpa can use AI to plan travel, order takeaway, and even video chat with grandson.

But there are also concerns: MCP is still very new, and security and compatibility may be undermined. Anthropic promises to keep improving to make sure it is as reliable and as great as Claude.

Tips 4: MCP may be the big star of AI's future, but it still needs time to prove itself.

**Chapter 5: What will happen if MCP enters the Web3 world? Cold water

enters the hot oil pan?**

To this day, AI is still very popular in Web3, but no dominant project has appeared, most of which have fallen by 90%, or even 99%, which is not good. It is not an exaggeration to call it a tool with an AI shell, it is not practical, and it is not smart. My cousin said that none of them could catch my eyes on me.

MCP is not the case. It highlights one practicality. It has countless possibilities for how it is practical.

Base @base has officially provided MCP Server, BNB Chain @BNBCHAIN ​​and Solana @solana communities have also provided MCP Server, and MCP has become a certain number of future development trends.

There are rumors that $GOAT, $AI16Z, and $ACT plummeted because of the popularity of MCP. This alone does not make a judgment, but it goes back to countless possibilities.

for example:

Grandpa Xiaobai roared and directly entered Web3 from Web2. Everything you need in Web3 AI will provide you with. (Except for funds, don't think of pies falling from the sky)

Grandpa shouted that I wanted to buy BTC, and AI immediately bought $21 million for grandpa. (You said you can't buy that much, so I'll give you an example and don't be serious)

end

Grandpa saw a KOL calling a token, asking AI to review the contract, but if there was no bug, he would copy 20 million yuan, and he stared at the boy on the first place. If he wanted to smash the market, we should start first. Grandma was not worried that we would be stabbed by the back.

Tips 5: MCP will change the existing AI track pattern of Web3, develop in a more practical direction, and connect Web2 and Web3 with one-click security.

end

In the past year, the AI ​​field has changed too quickly, and the emergence of MCP has made everyone's eyes shine. Because I lack imagination and MCP can create infinite possibilities, I am sorry that I cannot visualize it one by one. In other words, everything you think is possible.

Although AI sounds so profound, I hope this short essay will allow everyone, even our kindergarten grandfather, to understand the meaning of MCP.

In short, MCP is still in its infancy and can bring us too many unknown surprises, which is worth looking forward to!
