FAQ from MCP Server

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol for standardizing interaction between AI models and applications.

What are MCP Tools?

MCP Tools are functions that AI models can use, similar to Function Calling.

What are MCP Resources?

MCP Resources are specific data that clients can retrieve, based on URL patterns.

What is SSE support in MCP?

MCP supports SSE (Server-Sent Events) for real-time data transmission, useful for streaming LLM responses.

Where can MCP be used?

MCP can be used to connect LLMs to applications, build AI microservices, support Function Calling, and develop AI-powered interactive applications.
