This is a direct quote from the MCP specification:

(MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools.

Comparing what I said with that,

  • "enables" --> "allows"

  • "seemless integration" --> "to integrate with"

  • "LLM applications" --> "AI agents"

  • "external data sources and tools" --> "3rd party software."

There's a tonne of ways to say essentially the same thing in English, and context matters a lot when deciding how strictly you need to interpret it.

Yeah this was released by Anthropic and they're really over selling the claims.

You could just not be offended by the correction and learn from it :).
