The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic in 2024 and widely adopted in 2025 by OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. It defines a standardized way for AI agents to connect to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems — without requiring custom integrations for every connection.

This dramatically simplifies how AI is embedded into complex enterprise environments.
