| == What is MCP? | ||
|
|
||
| https://modelcontextprotocol.io/[Model Context Protocol (MCP)] is an open standard that enables AI applications to interact with and utilise external systems. The `mcpServer-1.0` feature for Open Liberty allows developers to expose the business logic of their applications, making it discoverable, understandable, and invocable by AI applications. |

I remember that we will be calling it mcp or mcp-1.0 feature and not mcpServer-1.0. Is it right?

Ah, this is annoying. We are changing the feature name, but at the time this blog post goes out, we'll still have the old feature name.
I think we leave it as mcpServer-1.0 for now and we'll have to update it (with a note that it changed) once the feature name change is visible in a release.

| Consider a scenario where your company provides weather forecasting services that require continuous updates from multiple data sources. It is impractical and inefficient to constantly retrain your AI model with these frequently changing forecasts. A more effective solution is to let the AI call your live data directly, through *tools* - functions the AI can invoke at will to retrieve up-to-date information whenever it needs it. | ||

| This is exactly what the Liberty `mcpServer-1.0` feature enables. Your existing Java application already contains the business logic that an AI agent needs: it fetches data, performs calculations, writes to databases, and calls external services. With `mcpServer-1.0`, you can expose that logic to any MCP-compatible AI agent with a single annotation. |
