Stepping back, blockchains are based on public key infrastructure (PKI, which means your identity is determined by a set of digits called a public key that allows you to receive funds. That public key is a mathematical function of another set of digits, a private key, which must be known in order to send funds.
Instead of a single private key, MPC involves several parties each with different strings of numbers that interact using a protocol. The process creates a public key to receive funds, and a way to sign transactions in order to send funds.
