You want to tell an AI “read this file”, “pull that record from my database”, “close this issue”. The model cannot do any of it on its own, because it has no access to your machine, your database or your accounts. MCP exists to close exactly that gap. It puts a standard connection layer between the AI application and the outside world 🔌 What Is MCP? MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. ...

“Agentic AI” is the most-discussed term of 2026, and most of what gets written about it looks at the same angle: enterprise transformation, productivity gains, automated customer service. All true, and none of it answers the question a developer actually has: how does this thing work? This post takes that angle. How the loop turns, which component actually executes tool code, why memory became its own architectural layer in 2026, and where these systems break 🤖 ...
