Abstract

With AI technology driving digital transformation across industries, large models serve as the cornerstone for practical applications due to their emergent capabilities and multimodal advantages. However, embedding them into business workflows faces the “last mile” challenge of “tool islands” and low integration efficiency. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) open protocol, introduced in 2024, offers an innovative solution to this pain point. This paper systematically outlines the MCP technical framework, analyzes its working principles, and validates its practical value through case studies. To demonstrate utility, it implements three typical scenarios including an MCP-based CAD drafting assistant, a multi-table and multi-file processing assistant, and an intelligent agent office platform. All three scenarios achieve over 20% efficiency improvement, confirming MCP's core advantages in versatility, scalability, and security. These findings provide theoretical support, design paradigms, and a replicable pathway for enterprises to build next-generation AI agents.
