Anthropic has released a new technical standard that can make it easier for AI
agents to access apps on a user’s phone or desktop on their behalf.

The new standard called Model Context Protocol (MCP) has been specifically
developed to aid AI agent-ic features such as the recently rolled out ‘computer
use’ capability of Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

The open-source, universal standard is free to download by developers and can
help with “connecting AI systems with data sources, replacing fragmented
integrations with a single protocol.”

“The result is a simpler, more reliable way to give AI systems access to the
data they need,” Anthropic said in a blog post on Monday, November 25.

As an example, the company said that information channels built on the MCP
standard can help AI agents retrieve app data to better understand the context
around a coding task. Currently, Anthropic has tied up with software companies
Zed, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph to adopt the MCP standard.

With the MCP, developers do not need to depend on Google or any other AI company
to create a custom connection between their AI agents and internal app data,
according to a report by Gizmodo.

Anthropic mentions that the two-way connections between AI systems and app data
will be “secure” but does not provide further details on the potential privacy
and security risks involved.

Meanwhile, Apple and Google are also working on giving their own AI systems the
ability to enter any app and directly take actions on it at the directions of
the user.
