From the course: Unboxing AI: Build a Remote MCP Server from Zero to Deployed with OAuth

Why MCP changes everything

- The Model Context Protocol is one of those technologies that when they are released, people see it and go, "Oh, another developer tool." And then, a few months later it becomes a tool that changes the way everything works. It is rare that we see these types of things happen in any context and especially in technology because normally tools develop over a long period of time and there's the ebb and flow in popularity, but you don't see this massive community and infrastructure and industry-wide adoption of one tool that changes the trajectory of everything that is happening in the industry. That's what we're talking about today. Not just a protocol that does some stuff with AI. But a protocol that changed the way we think about AI and the way we're building tools with AI. The Model Context Protocol is the name for this new protocol.
