1. The Tool Calling Crisis Before Model Context Protocol
For the past three years, software engineering teams attempted to connect generative models to production services using ad-hoc function calling schemas. Each AI provider maintained proprietary payload contracts, forced duplicate OpenAPI specifications, and lacked streaming state mechanics.
Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) solves this architectural fragmentation by defining a universal, open JSON-RPC 2.0 communication standard between AI host clients and domain tool servers.
