Model Context Protocol—a spec for hooking LLMs to services via tools, prompts, resources. Like HTTP, but for models calling your backend.

How do MCP prompts differ from tools?

Prompts are user-clicked workflows with fixed steps; tools let the LLM pick and sequence on the fly.

Are MCP resources safe for enterprise?

Yeah, app-controlled context injection means no user/LLM leaks—just relevant schema or data when needed.
