Before configuring your MCP clients, it's important to understand the two components involved:
-
llms.txt: A website index format that provides background information, guidance, and links to detailed documentation for LLMs. As described in the LangChain documentation, llms.txt is "an index file containing links with brief descriptions of the content"[1]. It acts as a structured gateway to a project's documentation.
-
MCP (Model Context Protocol): A protocol enabling communication between AI agents and external tools, allowing LLMs to discover and use various capabilities. As stated by Anthropic, MCP is "an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs"[2].
