Anthropic, the creator of the Claude chatbot, open-sourced yesterday a new standard called Model Context Protocol (MCP) for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data lives. The standard aims to produce better, more relevant responses to queries. MCP works for any model, not just Anthropic’s.

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 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.
