Model Context Protocol

An open protocol that standardizes how a model-facing application discovers and calls external tools and data sources, so a tool built once can be reused across any client that speaks the protocol rather than being wired into one specific agent framework.

Why exams ask this

Tested as a portability question: why write a tool integration once instead of once per agent framework. The exam wants MCP named as a standard interface between models and external tools or data sources, not as a specific vendor's proprietary plugin format.
