"MCP, or Model Context Protocol, began as a passion project from two Anthropic employees, but since its creation in mid-2024, it's been widely adopted by companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Cursor. There are even hints that Apple will use MCP in its forthcoming AI-enabled version of Siri. There have been competitors to MCP, but so far it's been a standards war without any real battle - MCP has quickly taken over the industry."
"And now it's official: This week, Anthropic is donating MCP to the Linux Foundation - and joining OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Block, Bloomberg, and Cloudflare in establishing a new fund called the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), whose goal is to "advance open-source agentic AI." The donation, and assigning a neutral body to govern MCP, will likely help supercharge its growth."
MCP (Model Context Protocol) originated as a passion project from two Anthropic employees in mid-2024 and has been widely adopted by companies including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Cursor. Apple may incorporate MCP into an AI-enabled Siri. Competitors emerged, but MCP rapidly became the de facto industry standard for agent interoperability. Anthropic donated MCP to the Linux Foundation and joined major companies in creating the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) to advance open-source agentic AI. Placing MCP under a neutral governance structure is intended to accelerate its adoption and shape how AI systems access apps, tools, and information across the internet.
