The Integration Problem
Every AI agent needs context. Every enterprise has dozens of data sources.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open specification for AI agent communication:
- Standardized Interface
- Bidirectional communication
- Vendor Neutral
- Enterprise Ready
MCP Architecture
MCP uses a client-server model with three key components:
MCP Servers
MCP servers expose enterprise resources to AI agents.
MCP Clients
MCP clients are AI agents that consume server resources.
The Protocol Layer
MCP defines message formats for capability discovery, resource queries, tool invocation.
Why MCP Matters: Before MCP, connecting Claude to your SAP system meant custom development.

- Reduced Development
- Future-Proof
- Security Centralization
