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).
