The world of Generative AI and AI Agents is evolving rapidly, increasing the demand for seamless integration between AI-powered applications and external data sources such as databases, APIs, and file systems.



Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to bridge this gap by enabling structured, two-way communication between AI applications and various data sources. It provides a universal, open standard for connecting AI systems with external data, replacing fragmented integrations with a single, standardized protocol.



One of MCP’s most important features is its separation of concerns—MCP tools, resources, and prompts can be used independently with different applications rather than being tightly coupled to a single AI application or agent.






What is MCP?



At its core, MCP standardizes how AI applications access and interact with external data. Developers can:





  1. Expose their data through MCP servers


  2. Build AI applications (MCP clients) that connect to these servers



Anthropic’s Claude Cloud Desktop is the first AI-powered application to implement an MCP client, enabling it to connect with various MCP servers.






Key Components of MCP



MCP consists of three primary building blocks:





  1. MCP Hosts – AI-powered applications that need access to external data via MCP (e.g., Claude Desktop).


  2. MCP Clients – These act as a bridge between AI applications and MCP servers, maintaining one-to-one connections.


  3. MCP Servers – Applications or services that expose functionalities via MCP. These can be written in Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript and serve various purposes, such as a FastAPI-based MCP server for calculations or user profile management.






MCP Communication Models



MCP supports two transport models, both using JSON-RPC 2.0 for structured data exchange:





  • STDIO (Standard Input/Output) – Uses local input/output streams, making it ideal for local integrations.


  • SSE (Server-Sent Events) – Works over HTTP, allowing remote AI applications to interact with MCP servers through SSE (server-to-client) and POST (client-to-server) requests.






Getting Started with MCP



In this blog, we'll focus on STDIO-based MCP servers, which are locally hosted and perfect for local AI integrations. If you’re developing remote AI applications, the SSE model provides a more scalable alternative.



MCP is paving the way for structured, secure, and efficient AI-data interactions. As AI-powered applications become more embedded in our workflows, standards like MCP will be essential for ensuring seamless interoperability across different systems.

MCP Server





# math_server.py

MCP Host and Client

async with stdio_client(server_params) as (read, write):
async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
# Initialize the connection
await session.initialize()

# Get tools
tools = await load_mcp_tools(session)

# Create and run the agent
agent = create_react_agent(model, tools)
agent_response = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": "what's (5000 + 18) then calculate 12x12 ?"})
print(extract_ai_message_content(agent_response))

How to use Prebuilt MCP Servers.



Here i am going to show how we can use FileSystem MCP servers which is open source




import asyncio
import os
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from typing import Dict, List, Union
from langchain.schema import AIMessage, HumanMessage

def extract_ai_message_content(response: Dict[str, List[Union[AIMessage, HumanMessage]]]) -> str:
for message in response.get('messages', []):
if isinstance(message, AIMessage) and message.content:
return message.content
return "" # Return empty string if no non-empty AIMessage is found

load_dotenv()

model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")

async def run_dynamic_directory_agent(directory):
async with MultiServerMCPClient() as client:
await client.connect_to_server(
"filesystem",
command="npx",
args=["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", directory]
)

agent = create_react_agent(model, client.get_tools())

response = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": f"List files in the directory: {directory}"})
print(extract_ai_message_content(response))

def get_user_directory():
while True:
directory = input("Enter the directory path (or press Enter for current directory): ").strip()
if directory == "":
return os.getcwd()
elif os.path.isdir(directory):
return os.path.abspath(directory)
else:
print("Invalid directory. Please try again.")

def main():
user_directory = get_user_directory()
print(f"Using directory: {user_directory}")
asyncio.run(run_dynamic_directory_agent(user_directory))

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()







Here, you will find a collection of pre-built MCP servers that can be leveraged in AI Agents or LLM-powered applications.
