# Model Context Protocol (MCP) Implementation

## Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation in MCPM CLI provides a robust framework for managing and interacting with MCP servers in Claude App (or any other host in the future). This document outlines the core components and functionality of our MCP implementation.

## Start MCP Server
