The Model Context Protocol: Bridging AI and Code Intelligence
Imagine asking Claude to "find all the functions that call the authentication service" and getting back precise results from your actual codebase. Or having Cursor automatically understand your project's architecture and suggest refactoring opportunities based on real dependency analysis. This isn't science fiction—it's the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in action.
MCP is the missing link between AI assistants and the tools they need to truly understand and work with code. It's not just another API—it's a standardized way for AI systems to access, analyze, and reason about structured information in real-time.
Here's everything you need to know about MCP, why it matters, and how to build with it.
