Why MCP Is the Missing Piece in the AI Tool Integration Puzzle
I’ve read many articles explaining what MCP is, but none explore how AI actually handles these server interactions under the hood. Here’s my take, using what I call the ‘Spin-off CoT’ concept.
Picture this: You’re having a conversation with an AI assistant about the weather in San Francisco. Behind the scenes, something fascinating happens. The AI doesn’t just “know” the current temperature — it spawns what I call a “spin-off Chain of Thought” (CoT) to handle tool interactions. This pattern, which emerged naturally from our exploration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), reveals something profound about how AI systems should integrate with external tools.
