• 2024-11: Anthoropic introduced MCP to allow for reuse of functions/api’s in a distributed environment. Previously each agent had to include the source in the code, now just a list of tools is passed and the definition of how to call the tool is generated dynamically at run-time.
  To use MCP and MCP Client application is needed such as the Claude Desktop application.
