MCP — The Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets any AI assistant plug into any tool or data source without custom integration code.
context window — The maximum amount of text a model can consider at once — its working memory for the current conversation or task.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
MCPThe Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets any AI assistant plug into any tool or data source without custom integration code.Full definition → apps let a tool result reach the user as a real clickable interface instead of the AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → retyping data back and forth, and Prefab gives Python-only teams a way to generate that UI without touching JavaScript or React directly.
