Anthropic and the Model Context Protocol with David Soria Parra

Listen to this episode from Software Engineering Daily on Spotify. The Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is a new open standard that connects AI assistants to arbitrary data sources and tools, such as codebases, APIs, and content repositories. Instead of building bespoke integrations for each system, developers can use MCP to establish secure, scalable connections between AI models and the data they need. By standardizing this connection layer, MCP enables models to access relevant information in real time, leading to more accurate and context-aware responses. David Soria Parra is a Member of the Technical Staff at Anthropic, where he co-created the Model Context Protocol. He joins the podcast to talk about his career and the future of context-aware AI. Jordi Mon Companys is a product manager and marketer that specializes in software delivery, developer experience, cloud native and open source. He has developed his career at companies like GitLab, Weaveworks, Harness and other platform and devtool providers. His interests range from software supply chain security to open source innovation.
