Gradio Now Supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Gradio, the popular Python library for building ML interfaces, now officially supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This means any Gradio app can be called as a tool by Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude and GPT-4.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. It allows models to interact with external tools such as image generators, file systems, and APIs. By providing a standardized protocol for tool-calling, MCP extends LLMs’ capabilities beyond text generation.
