Study Notes
Understanding MCPS
- MCPS are drawing increased attention, yet many lack a solid grasp of their nature, importance, and the entrepreneurial opportunities they unlock.
- Consistent programming standards are essential for engineers, enabling the creation of systems that ensure effective communication between each other.
- REST APIs are a common standard utilized by companies to develop services, thereby enabling smooth engineer connections.
- LLMs in isolation have limited functionality, capable of answering questions or providing data but incapable of undertaking meaningful actions such as sending emails.
- LLMs excel at predicting subsequent text within a sequence on the basis of their training data.
- LLMs have evolved through combination with tools, like APIs, to improve capabilities, such as enabling internet searches.
- Platforms such as Zapier and n8n facilitate the use of automations, and their integration with LLMs augments capabilities.
- The integration of multiple tools with LLMs presents difficulties, which complicates the creation of assistants to perform multiple tasks in a cohesive manner.
Intro to MCPS
- Integrating tools with LLMs involves multiple steps: identifying external services, linking these services to the LLM, and working to reduce
hallucinatingor other errors. - Each tool linked to an LLM functions analogously to a unique language, which adds complexity to their comprehensive integration.
- Variability among service providers in API construction further complicates integration.
- MCPS act as an intermediary between LLMs and a variety of tools, which involves translating diverse "languages" into a uniform language for LLMs.
- MCPS make it easier for an LLM to link to, and use, multiple outside resources.
- The integration of tools and LLMs needs extensive planning in gradual steps, which carries a risk of failure.
- Skilled engineers are valuable in the age of LLMs because of the intricacies involved in the LLM integration process.
- MCPS establish a standard connection between LLMs and other services.
- An mCP enables an LLM to create a new database entry through the mCP protocol.
MCPS Ecosystem
- The components featured in the MCPS Ecosystem include the mCP Client, the protocol, and the mCP server.
- mCP clients that include Tempo, Windsurf, and Cursor represent the interfaces of the client and the LLM within the ecosystem.
- An mCP Server is purposed to translate external service capabilities for the client.
- Service providers now handle the establishment of mCP servers to allow comprehensive client access.
- Standards ensure seamless communication between services.
Benefits of using MCPS
- Through MCPS, an LLM gains access to needed resources.
- There are technical challenges to resolve.
- Once challenges are resolved, there will be a new age of LLMs.
- MCPS represent a new standard for linking LLMs.
Opportunities with MCPS
- One prospective concept involves creating an mCP app store, complete with domains and repositories for downloading mCP servers.
- The mCP enables seamless integration.
- Comprehending the ultimate standard in full enables the understanding of subsequent evolutions.
