This week, Claude 4 was released, once again surpassing expectations in performance and programming capabilities. Amidst the buzz, Anthropic introduced a revolutionary new feature: Claude’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Connector.
Claude’s MCP Connector is a significant advancement, directly integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) functionality into Anthropic’s Messages API.
This means developers can request remote MCP services directly through the API, eliminating the need to run a separate MCP Client as before.
