AIスキル「MCP（Model Context Protocol）」を超わかりやすく解説：AIと外部アプリを繋ぐ万能USBポート
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the most talked-about breakthrough in AI. While the name sounds technical, the concept is as simple as a USB-C port. Here is what MCP skills are and why they turn passive chatbots into real digital employees.
AM LABThe USB-C Analogy: What is MCP?
Previously, AI models were trapped inside their chat boxes, forcing you to copy and paste text between Google Docs, Notion, Slack, and your browser. MCP is a universal standard that lets you plug "skills" (connectors) directly into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT so the AI can read your files, check your calendar, and update your workspace directly.
Example MCP Skill Configuration
Adding a skill to Claude Desktop or Cursor takes just a few lines in your config file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/Users/Shared/Docs"]
}
}
