Introduction
As AI systems evolve — with GPT-4 models boasting context windows in the million-token range and multi-modal agents autonomously invoking external tools — the traditional API model is increasingly showing its age. In 2025, when global daily AI service calls exceed hundreds of billions, developers are trapped in an “integration hell”: each API comes with its fragmented documentation, scattered authentication schemes, a mess of bespoke endpoints, and idiosyncratic design. In this challenging environment, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as a standardized communication framework, setting a new benchmark for AI system interoperability.
A 2024 Gartner report revealed that 73% of AI projects were delayed due to integration complexity. For instance, one fintech…
