The interoperability breakthrough: How MCP is becoming enterprise AI’s universal language

MCP, a new protocol from Anthropic, is emerging as a key standard for AI interoperability, allowing agents built on different frameworks to interact more effectively. Companies like OpenAI, MongoDB, Exa, and many others are either using MCP or integrating it into their services. Unlike APIs, which can be imperfect connectors, MCP offers fine-grained control over agent capabilities, making it easier for organizations to manage and access data. With endorsements from major companies like Microsoft and Google, MCP is gaining traction as a critical tool for the agentic ecosystem, though some firms are still cautious before fully embracing it.
