So, you know, we're in a pretty fast-moving moment, and that's why it's so important to know about this next turn of the wheel.
matched
And it's called Model Context Protocol, or MCP.
matched
If you are an AI developer, you know about this already.
matched
If you're an AI developer and you're on this channel, awesome.
matched
Thank you.
matched
Welcome.
matched
But for the rest of us who are just sort of following this along as civilians, it's worth just sort of knowing what this is.
matched
So Model Context Protocol is referred to by its acronym MCP.
matched
and I just want to go down a little bit of a rabbit hole here.
matched
I don't know why it is that these companies continue to use references inadvertently or on purpose to like science fiction nightmare scenarios, but for some reason they do.
matched
So I don't know if you remember, um, Stargate, uh, the show back in the nineties, uh, they, you know, open AI and the consortium of people, including, um, Miss Yashi sun and, um,
matched
Larry Ellison from Oracle, they're building this big infrastructure program around AI under the Trump administration.
matched
They're calling it Stargate.
matched
And I'm sure they thought that was cute, but I don't know if you remember, but Stargate, the show, is all about a really annoying race of basically sort of techno gods who use these Stargates, these transportation, you know, sort of teleportation systems to basically grab slave labor from across the universe.
matched
So that's a weird branding exercise.
matched
So MCP, those acronyms, that acronym, that's what the bad guy is in Tron, Master Control Program.
matched
I don't know if you remember this, but right, the sort of the self-aware video game development system that then becomes the sort of, you know, the evil bad guy in the show.
matched
Anyway, I don't know why they keep doing that.
matched
But anyway, a year, basically almost a year ago, November of last year, whatever that is, eight months ago,
matched
And Anthropic, one of the big companies that is making foundational models, there's OpenAI, there's Google, there's Facebook, and Anthropic is one of them, released this system, Master Control Program Model Context Protocol, MCP.
