FAQ from LiteMCP

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's a protocol for enabling communication between LLMs and external tools and resources.

What is a Tool in LiteMCP?

What is a Resource in LiteMCP?

Resources represent any kind of data that an MCP server wants to make available to clients, such as file contents, screenshots, or log files.
