Let’s Discuss Exciting New Protocol MCP Helps to Transform AI Agents from Isolated Chatbots into Context-Aware Digital Environments. As you all know about the MCP (Model Context Protocol). It is a big improvement in how systems and users work with data. It focuses on making things easier to understand, secure, and more useful for users.
By prioritizing, user-friendly, and secure operations, MCP empowers users to unlock the full potential of their data system. MCP plays an important role in making data interaction more efficient. MCP makes things easier by letting people use simple language to interact with complex systems, even if they aren’t tech experts.
It also saves time by automating repetitive tasks and combining different actions. The Model Context Protocol connects users or AI systems to data systems or APIs. It helps interact with organized data, like Microsoft Graph, which manages data and tasks in businesses.
MCP lets agents process commands, get information, and even change data based on the context given by the user. MCP keeps data safe by checking everything before it’s done, making sure things are secure and follow the rules. In this post just look an overview of MCP.

New Protocol MCP Helps to Transform AI Agents from Isolated Chatbots into Context-Aware Digital Environments
Above we discussed a lot of things about Model Context Protocol. Recently Christiaan Brinkhoff shared some overview on the MCP innovations. Also, Merill Fernando explains that The latest reasoning models in Claude 3.7 and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) make it easier for agents to work with various tools.
- To take advantage of these features, they developed an MCP for Microsoft Graph called “Lokka.”
- With Lokka, I can use simple language to ask questions and perform tasks on my Microsoft Graph account.
- Lokka and MCP have strong Connection
| MCP | Lokka |
|---|---|
| MCP is like a set of rules (a protocol) that lets AI talk to tools and data systems in a smart and simple. | Lokka uses these rules to work with Microsoft Graph. |
| It make tasks faster and simpler. | Also, This helps people easily manage things like employee data and tasks without doing complicated setups. |
| It supports querying a Microsoft 365 tenant using the Graph API. Updates are also supported if permissions are evided. |
- New Least Privilege Microsoft Graph Permissions in Entra Strengthen your App Security
- Manage Apps Access Permission for Account Info Using Intune
- Add the ChatGPT App to Intune using Microsoft Graph API
What is MCP
MCP is connected with the vairious tools loke Database,Web API,GitHub and slack and Gmail. MCP connects with databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite using dedicated servers, allowing natural language commands to query, update, and manage data. MCP connects with GitHub through special servers to automate tasks.
- By linking these platforms, MCP turns AI into a smart assistant that can handle different tasks across multiple systems efficiently.
| Innovations |
|---|
| MCP introduces a unified framework that standardizes how AI models interact with external tools and systems. This eliminates the need for custom integrations, making it easier to connect AI with databases, APIs, and other platforms. |
| MCP supports different communication methods, like STDIO (Standard Input/Output) and SSE (Server-Sent Events). |
| These Communication method allow AI and tools to communicate in real-time, providing quick updates and reducing delays |
| MCP is already helping automate tasks, manage data, and boost productivity in many industries. |
