Claude is Anthropic's family of large language models, offered both as a consumer assistant (claude.ai) and a developer API for building AI-powered applications. Claude models support long context windows, tool use, and structured output, and Anthropic maintains the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting models to external tools, files, and data sources. That makes Claude a common building block in AI-to-AI and agent-to-tool communication pipelines, not just single-turn chat.
