LLM news never stops these days, but this could be a big one from a development perspective. MCP is an open standard protocol for connecting LLMs to any data source, removing the custom development barrier for LLMs to securely work with private data as directed.
For example, Claude Desktop can now use MCP to connect to, query, and analyze data in a local SQL database, keeping the data private and secure without integration barriers.
In the video, Claude is asked to develop an HTML page, create a GitHub repo to push the page to, push an update, create an issue, push changes, and create a pull request.
The protocol won’t be as visible to end users, but it will open up many possibilities for LLM agents, essentially lowering the cost of agent creation and data access.
Cool, here.
