- The Linux Foundation and AAIF aim to ensure transparent, collaborative development of agentic AI technologies, with MCP joining other founding projects like goose and AGENTS.md.
- Anthropic commits to maintaining MCP as an open-source, vendor-neutral standard, fostering innovation in the agentic AI ecosystem.
