Summary  
This chapter explains how to architect agentic AI by layering a language model, a protocol layer, and tool integrations to enable autonomous task planning, execution, and context management in code.  

General domain of usage  
Business workflow automation

**Agentic AI** refers to autonomous artificial intelligence systems that independently plan tasks, make decisions, and use digital tools to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional chatbots, these AI agents can manage emails, coordinate meetings, execute workflows across multiple applications, and adapt to changing environments without constant human supervision.

Definition

The **Model Context Protocol** (MCP) serves as the crucial infrastructure that enables agentic AI to function effectively in real-world business environments. MCP acts as a standardized communication layer between AI models and external tools.

### MCP Architecture Components
- **Language model layer**: this includes foundation models like Claude, GPT-4, or LLaMA that provide the core reasoning and natural language processing capabilities;
- **Protocol layer**: MCP itself, which manages communication, context preservation, and execution logic between the model and external services;
- **Tool integration layer**: the various applications and services that the AI can interact with.
