Anthropic Open-Sources the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Anthropic has released the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard enabling secure, two-way connections between AI assistants and external data sources such as business tools, content repositories, and development environments. The protocol introduces a client-server architecture with SDKs, local MCP server support in Claude Desktop, and a repository of pre-built connectors for systems like GitHub, Slack, Google Drive, and Postgres. Early adopters include Block and Apollo, with development tool companies Zed, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph integrating MCP into their platforms. The goal is to replace fragmented, per-source integrations with a single universal protocol, improving context availability for AI agents.
