Anthropic's Product Manager Theodora Chu explains the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard that enables AI models to interact with external systems and data sources. MCP originated from engineers copying context between applications and LLMs, evolving into a protocol that gives models agency to access real-world data and perform actions. The protocol has gained adoption from major companies like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, with significant opportunities for building servers across different verticals, improving developer tooling, and enhancing AI security and observability.
