MCP is a server that exposes API endpoints (new vibe term is "tools")
MCP clients can query these endpoints (new vibe term is "invoke tools")
That is almost the entirety of it.
The difference with traditional API endpoints is: they are geared towards LLMs, so LLMs can ask servers to list "tools" and can call these tools at will during execution.
It's a vibe-coded spec for an extremely hype-based space.
