Model Context Protocol
Specification and documentation for the Model Context Protocol
Star Growth
Overview
Model Context Protocol (MCP) 是一个开放的协议规范，旨在标准化AI模型与上下文信息的交互方式。该项目提供完整的协议规范文档、TypeScript类型定义和JSON Schema，为开发者构建兼容的系统提供标准化基础。MCP采用TypeScript优先的方法定义协议架构，同时提供JSON Schema版本以确保更广泛的兼容性。项目包含官方文档网站，使用Mintlify构建，提供清晰的协议说明和实现指南。作为开源项目，MCP遵循MIT许可证，由经验丰富的开发者David Soria Parra和Justin Spahr-Summers创建。该协议旨在为AI应用生态系统提供统一的上下文协议标准，促进不同系统间的互操作性。凭借超过7600个GitHub星标，MCP已获得开发者社区的广泛关注和认可，成为AI模型上下文管理领域的重要标准。
