Model Context Protocol (MCP) is now popular subject in discussions around AI and LLMs. It was designed to add a standard way to connect "external" tools to LLMs to make them more useful. Classic example is the "what is the weather in ..." too. Each AI chat tool could do this with own way. Now there is a standard and a plugin made for one Ai Chat system can work with others.
We can se burst of enthusiasm in implementig of MCP servers for everything. I expect this trend will grow. Especially usage of MCP servers with SSE transport. Implementing of MCP server with Server-Sent Events make it similar to SaaS server designed for LLM/AI tool as a client.
There are to reason i decided to write this artcile.
- First. It is reported that internet users now often go to AI chat (often ChatGPT) to find something instead of going to google
- Second. OpenAI anounced they will add support of MCP to ChatGPT Desktop soon. And they will add both STDIO and SSE transport protocols for MCP
Based on this i expect we will see some interesting changes soon.
