Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about MCP Servers and UBOS

Q: What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

A: MCP is an open standard that defines how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). It allows LLMs to access external data sources, tools, and functionalities in a standardized and secure way.

Q: What is an MCP Server?

A: An MCP Server acts as a bridge between an LLM and external resources. It exposes data and functionalities to LLMs in a structured and secure manner, enabling them to perform complex tasks and make informed decisions.

Q: What are the benefits of using MCP Servers?

A: MCP Servers provide standardized context, secure interactions, extensibility, simplified development, and enhanced performance for AI agent development.

Q: What are some use cases for MCP Servers?

A: MCP Servers can be used for data-driven decision-making, automated task execution, personalized experiences, enhanced customer service, streamlined data analysis, and seamless integration with existing systems.

Q: What is UBOS?

A: UBOS is a full-stack AI Agent Development Platform that helps you orchestrate AI Agents, connect them with your enterprise data, build custom AI Agents with your LLM model and Multi-Agent Systems.

Q: How does UBOS integrate with MCP?

A: UBOS Asset Marketplace offers a curated selection of MCP Servers that can be easily integrated into the UBOS platform, allowing you to leverage the power of MCP in your AI agent development workflows.

Q: How do I get started with MCP Servers in UBOS Asset Marketplace?

A: Simply browse our catalog of available servers, select the one that meets your needs, and follow the instructions to integrate it into your AI agent development workflow.

Q: What is the MCP Python SDK?

A: The MCP Python SDK provides the necessary tools and libraries to build both MCP clients and servers in Python. It simplifies the development process and provides a clear and consistent interface for interacting with LLMs.

Q: What are the core components of the MCP Python SDK?

A: The core components include the FastMCP server class, resource decorators (@mcp.resource), tool decorators (@mcp.tool), prompt decorators (@mcp.prompt), and the Context object.

Q: How do I run an MCP Server using the Python SDK?

A: You can run the server in development mode using mcp dev server.py, install it in Claude Desktop using mcp install server.py, or run it directly using python server.py.
