AI: Do you use MCP? You Shall!

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is pretty new, so if you haven't heard of it, no worries. But trust me, you'll want to use it! Think of it like this: your AI code assistant always forgets the latest version of the language you're using, right? And it never seems to know the lay of the land of your codebase.

That's the problem MCP solves. It's basically a handshake—a protocol—supported by all the major AIs. It works in two totally different places: in your software IDE and in the production apps you build.

The AI simply asks an MCP server (which could be stateless) for the latest info it needs—from API updates to your private code structure. The server delivers, the AI gets smart, and it stops forgetting stuff. That's why you need it.
