What is Model-Context-Protocol-Templates: Pre-Built & Pro Guides?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source framework launched by Anthropic in November 2024 to standardize how AI systems, especially large language models (LLMs), interact with external data and tools. The pre-built templates and guides provided here simplify integrating MCP into your projects by offering structured resources like SDKs, debugging tools, and server examples. These templates act as blueprints for developers to expand LLM capabilities through three core features: Resources (accessing external knowledge), Tools (executing external functions), and Prompts (pre-configured input structures).
How to Use Model-Context-Protocol-Templates: Pre-Built & Pro Guides?
Start by selecting the appropriate SDK based on your programming language (Python, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin). Follow the Quickstart guide to set up your environment. For real-world usage:
- Use Resource Expansion to connect LLMs with databases or APIs (e.g., via NPM packages)
- Deploy Tool Actions for tasks like file operations or API calls
- Customize Prompt Templates to streamline input formatting
Refer to the template repository for pre-configured examples like database connectors or Git integration.
