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.

I assume you came across these lists from Microsoft, if not here is the link. In summary, we can interpret it as AI "replicability" and "resiliency". I personally think we will be surprised in 5 years. With regards to data engineering I was wondering if DE will get replaced first or DS as mentioned in the list. We kinda do "plumbing" for data 😉
