Recently, every time I open my phone, it's filled with various AI news, leaving me quite confused, especially about "ModelContextProtocol" (abbreviated as MCP). I don't understand it at all, and I can't keep holding onto my AI concept coins and crying over them. I don't know how much money $GOAT, $AI16Z, and $ACT have cost me, but this time I want to get it all back. So, I used my big brain to study MCP thoroughly, and guess what? I really figured it out. No wonder my cousin @cz_binance said that AI focuses on practicality. Previous AI was basically stuck at levels we couldn't use, like conversation, auto-tweeting, and underlying technical support. It turns out MCP is the future of AI.

Now, I present the results of my three days and nights of tireless research for all the married and unmarried brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters to review, trying to make it understandable even for our grandpas in kindergarten.

Chapter 1: What is MCP? The "Universal Plug" of the AI World

On November 25, 2024, an AI company called Anthropic @AnthropicAI (they developed the Claude intelligent model) launched MCP. Simply put, MCP is like a "universal plug" that allows AI to easily connect to external data and tools, such as company reports, website content, WEB3 wallets, and even the calendar on your phone.

Imagine your grandpa (not an insult) asking the smart speaker, "What do I have planned for today?" But the speaker can't understand the calendar and can only respond, "I don't understand what you're talking about." If MCP were available, it would pop up and "translate," saying, "You promised Aunt Eight yesterday to take her for soy milk this morning; the carriage is all ready for you" (just kidding, don't take it personally), allowing AI to find the answer directly.

Your grandpa (not an insult) then says, "Speaking of Aunt Eight, help me buy eight ethers with my Binance wallet" (unintentionally promoting Binance wallet @binancezh, no offense to sister @heyibinance), and the wallet actually helps grandpa make the purchase. AI not only talks but also gets the job done, better than some XX. It's that magical.

Previously, connecting AI to this data required writing a bunch of complex code. Now, with MCP, developers just need to plug in this "plug" to make AI smarter and more considerate.

Anthropic says MCP is open-source, and anyone can use it for free, even improve it. This has excited many programmers, who believe it could be the "standard configuration" for the future of AI.

Tip 1: MCP is like giving AI a "second brain," allowing it to understand more data.

Chapter 2: How Did MCP Come About? The Story Begins with the AI Boom of 2023

To understand why MCP is so important, we need to talk about the AI explosion in 2023. That year, OpenAI's ChatGPT became popular, and people worldwide started using AI to write articles, create art, and chat. But problems arose: while AI is smart, it can't see the data in your hands, like company sales records or family photo albums.

The team at Anthropic—a group of big shots who came from OpenAI—said this was unacceptable. So, they spent years researching and finally launched MCP at the end of 2024. This tool not only allows AI to "see" more data but also ensures safety, preventing bad actors from stealing privacy.

(Quick aside) At that time, my Web3 AI assets were shrinking, shrinking, and shrinking, leaving me in tears, and I still feel the pain. (End of aside)

The release of MCP coincided with a high point for Anthropic: in 2024, they secured billions of dollars in investments from Google and Amazon, making MCP a hot topic right from the start, like a supernova entering a new world.

Tip 2: MCP is the "savior" of the AI boom, solving a major problem—making AI understand your life better than you do.

Chapter 3: What Can MCP Do? AI Magic Even Your Grandpa Can Use

The beauty of MCP lies in its simplicity, allowing even non-tech-savvy grandpas to feel its benefits. When Anthropic released MCP, they also launched an application called ClaudeDesktop for everyone to experience directly.

For example, grandpa asks Claude, "What should I buy recently? (Seems like a question for a queen, but that's not important)." Previously, Claude might have only said, "I don't understand what you're talking about" (here we go again). But with MCP, Claude can connect to grandpa's shopping app through this protocol and immediately tell him he should buy a floral jumpsuit—without grandpa lifting a finger!

Grandpa is thrilled and very satisfied, deciding to wear it to the next Web3 consensus conference.

Developers can do even more with MCP, such as:

• Using simple code (like Python) to connect AI to company tools;
• Quickly building a smart assistant with ready-made MCP tools;
• Even designing new ways for AI to help grandpa plan yoga classes or manage household chores, or even help him trade cryptocurrencies.

Anthropic has placed the MCP code on GitHub, allowing anyone to download and try it, eliminating information gaps worldwide and attracting developers globally.

Tip 3: MCP is like an "AI magic wand," enabling grandpa to enjoy a smart life.

Chapter 4: What Will the Future of MCP Look Like? The Next Big Event in the AI World?

When MCP was first launched, everyone was guessing: could it become the "passport" of the AI world? After all, Anthropic has the backing of Google and Amazon, while competitors like Microsoft (supporting OpenAI) and Google (with its own Gemini) are also eyeing this field.

Some believe MCP might gradually become an essential "standard configuration" for AI, like WiFi in our phones. In the future, developers might use it to create more smart tools, allowing even grandpa to use AI to plan trips, order takeout, or even video chat with his grandkids.

However, some are concerned: MCP is still new, and there may be security and compatibility issues. Anthropic promises to keep improving it, ensuring it remains as reliable as Claude, and just as awesome.

Tip 4: MCP could be a future superstar of AI, but it still needs time to prove itself.

Chapter 5: What Happens When MCP Enters the Web3 World? Cold Water in Hot Oil?

As of today, AI's popularity in Web3 remains high, but no dominant projects have emerged, with most dropping by 90% or even 99%. It's fair to say many are just tools dressed in AI clothing—unpractical and not smart. My cousin says none have caught his eye.

MCP, on the other hand, stands out for its practicality, and it has countless possibilities.

Base @base has already provided MCP Server, and the BNB Chain @BNBCHAIN and Solana @solana communities have also offered MCP Server, making MCP a definite trend for future development.

There are rumors that the plummeting of $GOAT, $AI16Z, and $ACT is due to the explosive popularity of MCP. Just mentioning it without judgment, let's return to the countless possibilities.

For example:

Grandpa might shout in anger, directly jumping from Web2 to Web3, and AI will provide everything he needs in Web3 (except for funds; don't expect free money).

Grandpa yells he wants to buy BTC, and AI immediately buys him 21 million $BTC. (You might say that's too much; I'm just using it as an example, don't take it too seriously.)

Epilogue

Grandpa sees a KOL shouting about a certain token and asks AI to review the contract. If there are no bugs, he invests $20 million and keeps a close eye on the top-ranked guy, ready to sell before he dumps it, and grandma won't even worry about us getting backstabbed.

Tip 5: MCP will change the existing AI landscape in Web3, developing in a more practical direction and securely connecting Web2 and Web3 with one click.

Epilogue

In the past year, changes in the AI field have been rapid, and the emergence of MCP has been eye-opening. Due to my limited imagination, I can't fully visualize the infinite possibilities MCP can create. In other words, whatever you think is possible can be realized.

While AI may sound profound, I hope this little essay helps everyone, even our grandpas in kindergarten, understand the significance of MCP.

In short, MCP is still in its early stages and can bring us many unknown surprises, making it worth looking forward to!
