MCP – Model Context Protocol

This article covers using the MCP Python SDK and using the Model Context Protocol Inspector

It’s new, but it’s likely to be around a long time, due to it being a protocol – not a framework!

What actually is MCP?

How can I develop with it?

To run as a server you will need to run it like this:

from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP

mcp = FastMCP("My App")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    mcp.run()

Conclusion: – MCP allows LLM’s to access local data, the internet, and perform tasks on your computer. This protocol will allow new entrants into the world of LLMs (Foundation models) to be integrated with existing code and infrastructure.

Don’t forget, it allows you to access the real world from an LLM, so use with caution!

The inspector allows you to test the prompts, resources, and tools that you have used in your server’s code.

“The MCP inspector is a developer tool for testing and debugging MCP servers.”
