Open-source MCP protocol provides a universal, open standard for connecting AI systems to data sources, Anthropic says.

Anthropic wants to create an interface for AI chatbots to databases with an open source standard. It is uncertain whether the competitors will follow suit.

Anthropic new Model Context Protocol is a new open-source framework, designed to standardize AI and data interactions.

Anthropic has released a new open-source tool to connect AI assistants directly to the information they need to inform their responses or carry out tasks. The new Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a universal connection to all sorts of data sources,

Anthropic is proposing a new standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data lives, called Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Anthropic has introduced a new open-source tool called the Model Context Protocol (MCP), designed to streamline how AI systems connect with datasets. The tool offers a universal method for integrating AI assistants with various data sources,

Anthropic says MCP can produce better and more relevant responses The protocol is said to help build scalable connected AI systems The AI firm said Block and Apollo have integrated MCP into their syst

Anthropic says the software has already been adopted by several tech firms. Companies can connect their LLMs to external systems in a bid to make them more useful. An electronics maker, for example, could equip an LLM with the ability to answer customer support requests by giving it access to a repository of troubleshooting guides.
