MCP lets AI assistants like ChatGPT connect directly to your Notion, Gmail, and personal files to complete tasks without switching apps. Instead of a generic chatbot, you get a personalized assistant that knows your data and can act on your behalf.
And MCP is, at least right now, I think the most exciting thing in agentic AI because it exposes tools and resources and prompts. Those are the three big things in MCP to empower an AI that's connected to a person to do things on their behalf so that my ChatGPT isn't your ChatGPT. My ChatGPT is ChatGPT plus access to my Notion, plus access to the books I read, plus access to my Gmail or other things I care about. And it's able to both bring me knowledge that I care about, either that's private to me, contextual to my company or from the world, and be able to do things on my behalf through my being able to issue commands.
