Full definition
Model Context Protocol was introduced by Anthropic in 2024 and is now implemented by Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, and a growing list of third-party hosts. An MCP server declares a catalog of tools — each with a name, a description, and a JSON schema for inputs and outputs — and speaks either stdio or Server-Sent Events.
AGNT runs a production MCP server at /mcp/sse that exposes venue discovery, memory recall, and knowledge-graph lookups to any MCP client. Any LLM that speaks MCP can book a table through AGNT without writing a single line of REST client code.
