Chapter 1 - The Problem

AI is brilliant - but trapped

Imagine you have a genius friend who knows everything. You ask them: "Can you check my calendar and book me a dentist appointment?"

They say: "I would love to help, but I'm stuck inside this box. I can't reach your calendar. I can't touch your email. I can only talk to you through this chat window."

That's exactly what AI was like before MCP.
