Hackteam - An LLM does not need to understand MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the standard for tool calling when building agents, but contrary to popular belief, your LLM does not need to understand MCP. You might have heard about the term "context engineering"; where you, as the person interacting with an LLM, are responsible for providing the right context to help it answer your questions. To gather this context, you can use tool calling to give the LLM access to a set of tools it can use to fetch information or take actions.
