 ## What is MCP?
 
-The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) lets you build servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications in a secure, standardized way. Think of it like a web API, but specifically designed for LLM interactions. MCP servers can:
+The [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) lets you build servers that expose data and functionality to LLM applications in a secure, standardized way. Think of it like a web API, but specifically designed for LLM interactions. 
+
+MCP follows a **client-server model**, where LLM applications act as clients and connect to MCP servers to access capabilities such as data retrieval and tool execution in a consistent format.
+
+MCP servers can:
 
 - Expose data through **Resources** (think of these sort of like GET endpoints; they are used to load information into the LLM's context)
 - Provide functionality through **Tools** (sort of like POST endpoints; they are used to execute code or otherwise produce a side effect)
