Introduction, hype and history

0:00 now that open aai has officially offered their support for mCP it is basically confirmed model context protocol is going to be the aient framework today I'm going to explain what mCP is without the hype and without the fluff this video is suitable for complete beginners so even if you guys have never typed a line of code in your life today you're going to learn exactly what mCP is how it fits into your AI or automation stack how to use it in practice and I'm going to include a real example inside of naden my name is Nick I build systems for a living I actually scaled my own AI an automation company to 7 a month so this is literally all I do let's get into it so what is model context protocol I should note that it is in every Creator's interest to make stuff like this whether it's a protocol or a framework or a software drop or whatever seem like it is bigger than it actually

0:45 is okay so mCP model context protocol is just that it is a protocol and just like most protocols we can deconstruct it we can break it down we can learn it step by step that's what I'm going to be doing with you guys today the thing about mCP is that it's not actually a lot of people think it is cuz they're seeing it blow up all over the internet right now but mCP or model context protocol was actually launched by anthropic way back in November 25th of 2024 so it's not exactly new it's also not exactly old but essentially the reason why you've been seeing it all over your YouTube right now is because it's finally gaining a critical mass of adoption where it's gotten to the point that it actually does provide a ton of value right like a protocol is only as valuable as the number of people that use it when it has wide Market penetration that's when you start to really see the benefits and because of a few creators or maybe anthropic Zone

1:32 marketing efforts or whatever we're finally getting that point now so just to give you guys a little bit of context mCP itself is not new it's relying on technology that was created a year or so ago depending on when you're watching this video so to understand how mCP or model context protocol really works the best way is to just Dive Right In and build in my case I'm going to be using a lower no code tool called n8n just so we can see how the concepts play out in
