In a significant move for the AI industry, Google announced its support for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enhance connectivity between AI models and data systems. This decision follows OpenAI's recent endorsement of the same standard. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis highlighted MCP's potential as an emerging open standard for AI development. The protocol facilitates two-way data connections, enabling developers to create dynamic applications, such as chatbots. Several companies, including Block and Apollo, have already integrated MCP into their platforms, signaling a growing trend in AI interoperability.
