Model Context Protocol (MCP): The Backbone of Dynamic AI Workflows

As the AI landscape rapidly evolves, the demand for systems that support modular, context-aware, and efficient orchestration of models has grown. Enter the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — a rising standard that enables dynamic, multi-agent AI systems to exchange context, manage state, and chain model invocations intelligently.

In this article, we’ll explore what MCP is, why it matters, and how it’s becoming a key component in the infrastructure stack for advanced AI applications. We’ll also walk through a conceptual example of building an MCP-compatible server.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is a protocol designed to manage the contextual state of AI models across requests in multi-agent, multi-model environments. It’s part of a broader effort to make LLMs (Large Language Models) more stateful, collaborative, and task-aware.

At its core, MCP provides:

  • A way to pass and maintain context (like conversation history, task progress, or shared knowledge) across AI agents or model calls.
  • A standardized protocol to support chained inference, where multiple models collaborate on subtasks.
  • Support for stateful computation, which is critical in complex reasoning or long-running workflows.

Model Architecture

Buddhi-128K-Chat-7B is fine-tuned from the Mistral-7B Instruct v0.2 base model, selected for its superior reasoning capabilities. The Mistral-7B architecture incorporates features such as Grouped-Query Attention and a Byte-fallback BPE tokenizer, originally supporting a maximum of 32,768 position embeddings. To extend this to 128K, the Yet another Rope Extension (YaRN) technique was employed, modifying positional embeddings to accommodate the increased context length.
