OpenAI and Anthropic, once competitors, have collaborated on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open specification designed to simplify integrations between AI models and external data sources. MCP, likened to a USB-C port, allows AI applications to connect efficiently without the need for bespoke integrations. The protocol has gained traction among tech companies, including Microsoft, and received acknowledgment from OpenAI, reflecting a growing trend towards standardized connectivity in AI development. Support from the community is evident through numerous open-source projects aiming to enhance AI-tools compatibility across various domains.
MCP establishes a royalty-free protocol that allows AI models to connect with outside data sources and services without requiring unique integrations for each service.
Think of MCP as a USB-C port for AI applications, aiming to standardize how AI models connect to the infoscape around them.
