Anthropic has released Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard designed to facilitate secure, two-way connections between AI applications and external tools or data sources. MCP functions similarly to a USB-C port for AI, allowing various AI applications like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor to access a product's tools and data through a single, standardized interface. For product managers, MCP represents a new product surface, enabling them to define which actions their product exposes, control access, and measure performance. AI
IMPACT Standardizes AI application integration, potentially accelerating the development and adoption of AI-powered tools and services.
