Interpersonal communication

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Interpersonal communication refers to the exchange of information, meaning, and feeling between two or more people. It encompasses verbal and non-verbal signals and shapes relationships in both personal and professional contexts. Effective interpersonal communication involves active listening, empathy, clear expression, and the ability to read and respond to social cues. It forms the foundation of teamwork, leadership, customer relationships, and all forms of collaborative work.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic in 2024 and widely adopted in 2025 by OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. It defines a standardized way for AI agents to connect to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems — without requiring custom integrations for every connection. MCP acts as a universal interface: an AI agent with MCP support can securely access databases, APIs, document repositories, and business applications using a consistent protocol, regardless of the underlying system. This dramatically simplifies how AI is embedded into complex enterprise environments.
