Definition

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol for connecting applications that use generative AI with external data sources and tools and for providing context and capabilities in a standardized form.

SimpleModeling

SimpleModeling uses MCP as an access boundary that supplies generative AI with the BoK, Glossary, Models, Components, and related resources. MCP is not itself a Knowledge Model; it is a mechanism for providing selected knowledge and operations to generative AI.
