Model Context Protocol (MCP): Connecting Context, Agents, and Modern Software Architecture
Nagib Sabbag Filho · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2025
This article presents the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a structured approach for integration between language model-based agents and corporate systems, with an emphasis on governance, predictability, and security. Unlike direct and ad hoc integrations, the MCP establishes explicit contracts for the exposure of capabilities through tools, resources, and prompts, reducing ambiguities and limiting the agent's access to the domain.
