# 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.
