MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications
provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI
applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect
your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides
a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources
and tools.

Many LLMs do not currently have the
ability to fetch the forecast and severe
weather alerts. Let’s use MCP to solve
that!
We’ll build a server that exposes two
tools: get-alerts and get-forecast.
Then we’ll connect the server to an
MCP host (in this case, Claude for
Desktop)
