According to Anthropic (@AnthropicAI), MCP has officially become part of the Agentic AI Foundation, a directed fund operated under the Linux Foundation. Co-creator David Soria Parra shared that MCP, initially developed as a protocol in a London conference room, is now recognized as an open standard for connecting AI systems to various external tools and platforms. This integration under the Linux Foundation is expected to accelerate the adoption of MCP in enterprise and open-source AI projects, creating new business opportunities for interoperability and ecosystem growth (source: AnthropicAI, Dec 11, 2025).

According to DeepLearning.AI, the new short course on ACP: Agent Communication Protocol addresses a major challenge in building multi-agent AI systems by providing a standardized method for agent communication. Traditionally, teams have faced significant obstacles when integrating agents across different frameworks, often requiring custom integrations and frequent refactoring with each system update. ACP streamlines this process by offering a universal protocol that simplifies agent interoperability, reducing development time and costs. This standardization presents significant business opportunities for enterprises aiming to deploy scalable, cross-platform AI solutions while ensuring future-proofing and easier maintenance (source: DeepLearning.AI, Twitter, June 25, 2025).
