## AI overview

This article compares 12 major agent SDKs and frameworks that support Model Context Protocol (MCP), describing their different strengths and including code for connecting each one to an MCP Server. It also explains MCP as a standardized way for applications and large language models to interact with tools and resources, and discusses the operational requirements of remote MCP servers, including authentication, rate limiting, multi-tenancy, and authorization.
