## Definition

**MCPs** — a mechanism for connecting autonomous coding agents to the external tools, context, and services they need, so agents can act within a working setup instead of operating only from a chat prompt.

In the material on **coding agents in practice**, **MCPs** appear as part of the plumbing that lets autonomous agents such as Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork reach beyond a plain chat window — connecting them to the tools, context, and surfaces they need while the human shifts to **planning, orchestrating, and verifying** [^5525946f-790a-5dbf-869f-eaf4933bd18b@138]. The recurring lesson across the practitioners captured here is that agents work best when they can plug into a working setup rather than act in isolation, and MCPs are one of the connection points that make that possible. Explore the surrounding material to understand how MCPs fit into delegation-first workflows, orchestration surfaces, and multi-agent review [^5525946f-790a-5dbf-869f-eaf4933bd18b@138].
