From Idea to Integration: An Intro to the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
summary
Model Context Protocol (MCP) presents a concrete standard for connecting LLMs to tools and services and demonstrates a working SQLite conference-schedule integration: an MCP server (fast-mcp) exposes a schema resource and a query tool that Claude calls to find three MCP-related talks; demo returns three results and later shows nine speakers with exactly two talks. Latest spec adds OAuth 2.1-based authorization and a streamable HTTP transport for stateless hosting (Lambda, Cloudflare Workers), and Open Control deploys MCP into infra.
