What’s an MCP?
Imagine you and your friends all speak different languages, some speak “Email,” some speak “Slack,” some speak “Calendar,” and so on. You only speak “AI.”
An MCP is like a magical translator friend who stands in the middle. When you say something in “AI,” your translator converts it into “Email language” for your email app, then “Slack language” for your chat app, then “Calendar language” for your schedule.
When those apps reply, your translator turns their answers back into “AI” so you can understand everything in one chat.
-
You (AI) say: “Show me tomorrow’s meetings.”
-
Translator (MCP) whispers to Calendar: “List tomorrow’s events.”
-
Calendar replies: “Here are your meetings.”
-
Translator (MCP) tells you (AI) in your language.
No need to learn each app’s language, your MCP does it all for you!
