📖 What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect with external tools, data sources, and services. Think of it as a universal plugin system for AI — allowing Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other AI tools to interact with your development environment, databases, APIs, and more.

Why MCP Matters

⚡ Quick Start

1. Choose Your Client

2. Install Your First Server

# Using npx (recommended for TypeScript servers)
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /path/to/allowed/directory

# Using uvx (recommended for Python servers)
uvx mcp-server-git --repository /path/to/repo

3. Configure Your Client

Add to your client's configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/you/projects"]
    }
  }
}
