CS146S: The Modern Software Developer - Stanford University

Wk02 - Stanford CS146S - Turning LLMs Into Autonomous Doers
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard bridging Large Language Models (LLMs) with real-world tools and dynamic data, moving AI beyond static knowledge. It acts as a universal adapter for AI agents to make secure, structured API calls (JSON-RPC 2.0). This standardized approach replaces fragmented, custom integrations, simplifying connectivity and becoming the de facto standard for autonomous AI development. The protocol allows LLMs to access tools (callable functions), resources (read-only data), and prompts (reusable templates) via a client-server architecture.
