The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI agents to discover and interact with external tools and data sources. Initially developed by Anthropic to solve the "N×M" integration problem, MCP has been adopted by major AI vendors including OpenAI and Google DeepMind. The protocol has since been donated to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, becoming a vendor-neutral standard. MCP's widespread adoption is attributed to its efficiency in connecting numerous AI models with various tools, simplifying development and expanding AI capabilities. AI
