Google Adopts Anthropic's Model Context Protocol for AI Models

Google has announced its support for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) for its Gemini models and SDK, following a similar move by OpenAI.

Google has announced its decision to support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic for its Gemini models and SDK. This move comes shortly after OpenAI's adoption of the same standard, marking a significant step towards interoperability in AI model data connectivity. The announcement was made by Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis in a post on X.

MCP is designed to enable AI models to access data from various sources, such as business tools and software, facilitating the completion of tasks and enhancing AI applications like chatbots. The protocol allows developers to create two-way connections between data sources and AI-powered applications, improving the integration and functionality of AI systems.

Since its open-source release, MCP has gained traction with companies like Block, Apollo, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph, which have integrated MCP support into their platforms. This widespread adoption underscores the protocol's growing importance in the AI industry as a standard for connecting AI models to data systems.
