Search
Model-Context-Protocol MCP architecture for LLM applicationsLet's get more detailed information about MCP by examining the official documentation:
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a flexible, extensible architecture enabling seamless communication between LLM applications and integrations. It follows a client-server architecture where hosts (LLM applications like Claude Desktop or IDEs) initiate connections, clients maintain 1:1 connections with servers within the host application, and servers provide context, tools, and prompts to clients.
The architecture consists of several core components. The protocol layer handles message framing, request/response linking, and high-level communication patterns through key classes like Protocol, Client, and Server. The transport layer manages actual communication between clients and servers, supporting multiple mechanisms including stdio transport (for local processes) and HTTP with SSE transport (using Server-Sent Events for server-to-client messages and HTTP POST for client-to-server messages). All transports use JSON-RPC 2.0 for message exchange.
MCP defines four main message types: Requests (expecting responses), Results (successful responses), Errors (failed requests), and Notifications (one-way messages). The connection lifecycle involves initialization (where client and server exchange capabilities), message exchange (supporting request-response patterns and notifications), and termination (via clean shutdown or disconnection).
The architecture includes standardized error handling with defined error codes and propagation mechanisms. The documentation provides implementation examples, best practices for transport selection and message handling, security considerations (covering transport security, message validation, resource protection, and error handling), and guidance for debugging and monitoring through logging, diagnostics, and testing.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a client-server architecture designed for communication between LLM applications and integrations. Its core components and functioning include:

To build a similar system using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Large Language Models (LLMs), we can design a modular architecture that separates concerns while maintaining seamless integration.
资料来源:modelcontextprotocol.ioanthropic.com
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a standardized way to connect AI models with external data sources and tools. In our architecture, MCP will serve as the communication layer between the core LLM and various specialized servers that handle different functionalities.
The MCP architecture consists of:
All communication uses JSON-RPC 2.0 for message exchange, with support for multiple transport mechanisms including stdio for local processes and HTTP with Server-Sent Events (SSE).
The central component of our architecture is the Core Assistant, powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) that:
This component maintains conversation context and manages the overall user experience.
We'll implement several specialized MCP servers to handle different aspects of the assistant's functionality:
To match Martin.ai's multi-platform accessibility, we'll implement several interfaces:
LLM Selection: Choose a powerful LLM like GPT-4, Claude 3, or Llama 3 as the core intelligence. Consider factors like context window size, reasoning capabilities, and API costs.
MCP Implementation: Use the official MCP SDKs available for various programming languages (Python, TypeScript, Java, etc.).
Speech-to-Text: Implement meeting recording and transcription using services like OpenAI's Whisper, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, or AWS Transcribe.
External Service Integrations: Implement integrations with email services (Gmail API, Microsoft Graph API), calendar services, and other necessary APIs.
