November 25, 2024: Anthropic Unveils Open-Source AI Integration Protocol - Anthropic PBC has released an open-source toolkit called the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to streamline the connection of AI models with external systems and tools. Designed to ease integration, MCP lets companies connect large language models to datasets and applications with minimal custom coding. It uses JSON-RPC 2.0 for data transfer and supports autonomous task sampling with user review. Companies like Block Inc. have already adopted MCP, which promises to simplify the integration process to under an hour for software teams.
