What is MCP, and why does it matter for building apps with AI?

Updated

MCP in one sentence

Think of MCP as a common plug: any assistant that supports it can use any tool that offers it, without a custom integration for each pair. Anthropic introduced it as an open protocol in 2024, and it has since been adopted across the industry.

Why it matters

Without a standard, every tool has to build a separate integration for every assistant. With MCP, a tool is built once and works wherever the protocol is supported. For you, that means less lock-in: your tools are not tied to a single assistant.

How Bunbird uses MCP

When you ask for an app, the assistant calls Bunbird’s tools to create it, deploy it and later update it. That is why you can do everything from the chat, and why the same apps work whichever assistant you use.

Bunbird works from ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and Cursor, and from any MCP-compatible assistant.
