What is a MCP Host

An MCP host is a component of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture. It acts as the central application that connects to MCP servers and clients, enabling large language models (LLMs) to interact with external tools, databases, APIs, or local files. Here's a simplified breakdown:

Role: The MCP host manages connections and interactions between LLMs, MCP clients, and MCP servers.

Functionality: It retrieves tools from MCP servers, sends queries to LLMs, and executes commands to access data or perform actions.

Applications: MCP hosts can be integrated into various platforms, such as chat apps, IDEs, or code assistants.

This architecture is designed to streamline how AI models access and utilize external resources securely and efficiently
