Just to be clear, MCP is not the following:
- It is **not** a plugin marketplace
- It is **not** hosted infrastructure
- It is **not** tied to any single model or provider
MCP is a **protocol**. It provides a common way for models, tools, and environments to communicate. Anyone can implement it, and projects like FastMCP already make it easy to get started.
