Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external systems, such as a memory layer, through a common interface.
In detail
MCP gives AI tools a standard way to call external capabilities instead of each integration being bespoke. For memory, MCP means a single shared store can be read from and written to by many different AI tools through one protocol. It is one illustration of a broader principle: an agent-agnostic memory layer aims to serve many AI tools through a shared interface rather than a separate integration per tool.
