title: Overview
---
_**NOTE:** This is a very early draft. Feel free to discuss changes, requirements, etc._
# Goal
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an attempt to allow implementors to provide context to various LLM surfaces such as editors/IDEs, [claude.ai](https://claude.ai), etc., in a pluggable way. It separates the concerns of providing context from the LLM loop and its usage within.
This makes it **much** easier for anyone to script LLM applications for accomplishing their custom workflows, without the application needing to directly offer a large number of integrations.
# Terminology
The Model Context Protocol is inspired by Microsoft's [Language Server Protocol](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/), with similar concepts:
* **Server**: a process or service providing context via MCP.
