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.
