Anthropic’s MCP claims a universal, bidirectional interface that turns APIs, databases, Slack, GitHub and local files into first‑class context providers; the demo shows a local MCP server built with the SDK, tools exposed as JSON APIs and an OpenAI client patched to call them. The talk explains JSON‑RPC message format, per‑tool sandboxing via isolated client processes and hierarchical context retrieval and gives code snippets for Postgres/Slack/GitHub integrations and early adoptions.
