What Is MCP? (Model Context Protocol) Explained in 6 Minutes

Everyone says "MCP is the USB-C for AI." But almost nobody explains what actually happens after you ask Claude or ChatGPT to use a tool. When you ask Claude to search GitHub, it isn't magically calling the GitHub API. So... who actually does? In this video, we break down the entire Model Context Protocol (MCP) from the ground up using motion graphics and real JSON-RPC examples. By the end, you'll understand exactly what happens between the moment you ask an AI to perform an action and the moment it returns the result. No analogies. No hand-waving. Just the actual architecture. If you enjoyed this video, consider subscribing. I make deeply visual explanations of software engineering, AI systems, distributed systems, Git, databases, and how modern developer tools actually work. #MCP #AI #Claude #OpenAI #LLM #JSONRPC #SoftwareEngineering #SystemDesign #Developers #Programming #MachineLearning #Tech
