Are you making good use of AI these days?
I saw a post by Sam Altman joking that GPT’s GPUs are melting because Ghibli-style image generation is trending. 😂
That just shows how widely AI is being used right now!

So today, I’d like to talk about MCP.
I’ll cover more technical details in a future post —
for now, let’s get started! 👇

What is MCP? 🤖

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard communication protocol that allows AI to interact naturally with external tools.
To make it easier to understand, let’s compare it to HTTP!

HTTP vs MCP 👀

🔹 Who uses it?

• HTTP: Browser, app
• MCP: AI model

🔹 Talks to

• HTTP: Web server
• MCP: External tools (e.g., summarizer, calculator)

🔹 Request format

• HTTP: GET, POST (HTTP methods)
• MCP: invoke, runTool (MCP commands)

🔹 Included info

• HTTP: URL, headers, body, cookies, etc.
• MCP: Tool name, input values, context, etc.

🔹 Response

• HTTP: HTML, JSON
• MCP: Result from tool (summary, calculation...)

🔹 Purpose

• HTTP: Communicate with websites
• MCP: AI interacts with tools to complete tasks

TL;DR ✍️

MCP is a communication protocol for AI!
