Anthropic MCP Is a Game-Changer #anthropic #llm #ai

Anthropic just dropped MCP, an open-source Model Context Protocol that transforms how AI systems interact with external data sources.

Pietro Schirano built a server that supports EverArt AI’s API to let Claude generate images.

Alex Albert, Anthropic’s Head of Claude Relations, gave Claude the ability to search the web using the Brave Search API.

Both of these things have been possible with ChatGPT for a while. It can search the web with Bing, it can generate images with DALL-E, but Anthropic’s MCP is different and far more powerful.

MCP follows a client-server architecture where applications like Claude Desktop, IDEs and AI tools outside of Anthropic’s ecosystem act as clients, and servers are light adapters that expose data sources. These sources could be remote like APIs for GitHub or Slack, or local files and databases, which is another thing Pietro Schirano played around with, giving Claude the ability to create local files.

The Claude team are doing great. I like their vision!

Mcp can be a good enterprise solution for most companies

amazing talk. super informative dense.

[holdingW]

pronunciation of pietro schirano on point

[Onenationashuq]

OpenAI and Google integrated MCP, already!

[trakeshkumar]

Didn't understand anything but interesting...

[MichealPeggins]

Wondering if it charges you for api use. Seems expensive

[konoko-oo]

So they reinvent basic network communication and systems interaction? As far as I know capabilities like this always existed, and agents being essentially deployable Microservices in most cases what this changes exactly?

[overflood]

Anyway, wasn’t that possible with customGPTs already, called actions?

[waffleninja]

Wow, I don't get it at all thanks

[honkhonk]

I like how while everybodys building actual AI's and doing actual math, javascript slop developers out here tryna rebrand ChatGPT wrappers as anything special

[김푸륵]

Is it available searching local file by explaining of the file's content?

[グエンコン-wu]

Anthoropic is Amazing!!!! why can they did ^^

[gnu-emacs-for-success]

The MCP serves only the corporate interest.

did manus get access to this last week?

[bryanchukwurah]

lol what do you mean by far more powerful the protocol layer is http. theres no difference. the win here is a design win. if more servers exposed an mcp capable endpoint it simplifies the code the host has to write. but theres no technical improvement from current state of the art

[biggestgamelibrary]

Isn't this just lang chain ..? No ?

[AndreiBenHur]

This video just made me more confuse...

[vaibhavtiwari]

everything is nice, but someone who can't pay for the api and all these stuff so thats make thing difficult

[mgst]

‘Just dropped’ 😂 it’s been out since November 2024
