What is MCP for?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) makes it easy for chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT to interact with tools.

Some example use cases:

• Fetch data from your email account and write emails for you
• Run through a document on your computer and provide a summary
• Create a Spotify playlist

Using MCP servers you can enable your chatbot to do these types of actions.
