Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard introduced by Anthropic in late 2024 to streamline the connection between AI assistants and diverse data sources.
MCP operates on a client-server architecture, providing a standardized way for AI models to access and interact with data sources in a consistent and secure manner.
MCP and FastAPI are considered complementary components in the AI integration landscape, where FastAPI helps build APIs quickly while MCP enables AI applications to access diverse data through standardized protocols.
By leveraging MCP and FastAPI, developers can enhance AI capabilities, streamline development, and create scalable solutions for intelligent and responsive applications.
