What is an MCP Component?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) components are specific interaction points within the Model Context Protocol that serve as access points for different functionalities, tools, resources, and prompts. They define where and how data or actions can be requested or performed within the MCP system, enabling standardized communication between AI models and external services.
