OpenAI officially announces MCP support!
Sam Altman announced that OpenAI will support the MCP standard, tweeting
"people love MCP and we are excited to add support across our products.
available today in the agents SDK and support for chatgpt desktop app + responses api coming soon!"

Anthropic officially announces the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Anthropic introduces MCP as a “universal, open standard” for connecting AI systems to where data lives.
They release the MCP specification and SDKs (in Python and TypeScript) along with initial reference MCP servers for popular tools like Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Git, Postgres, and web browsing (Puppeteer)
This launch immediately enables developers to run local MCP servers or integrate MCP into AI apps (Claude 2’s desktop app is updated to support MCP out-of-the-box). Anthropic’s announcement emphasizes that MCP will help “replace fragmented integrations with a single protocol,” allowing AI assistants to access relevant data more easily.
