🧩 MCP Clients
Overview
MCP clients are applications or SDKs that connect to MCP servers, allowing AI systems to discover and use external tools or data in a standardized way.
They:
- Handle protocol communication, authentication, and data exchange with MCP servers.
- Enable AI models and agents to access structured, permissioned context.
- Are often embedded into AI agents, IDE plugins, or automation frameworks.
✅ Key Points
- Clients discover which tools and capabilities a server offers.
- They send requests and receive structured responses following the MCP spec.
- They bridge AI models with APIs, databases, or external systems securely.
