OpenAI Integrates Anthropic MCP for Enhanced AI Agents

OpenAI has announced its support for Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard. The move is designed to streamline the integration between AI assistants and various data systems. MCP is an open standard that facilitates connections between AI models and external repositories and business tools, eliminating the need for custom integrations.

The integration is already available in OpenAI's Agents SDK, with support coming soon to the ChatGPT desktop app and Responses API. The aim is to create a unified framework for AI applications to access and utilize external data sources effectively. This collaboration marks a pivotal step towards enhancing the relevance and accuracy of AI-generated responses by enabling real-time data retrieval and interaction.

Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger welcomed the development, noting MCP has become “a thriving open standard with thousands of integrations and growing.” Since Anthropic released MCP as open source, multiple companies have adopted the standard for their platforms. CEO Sam Altman confirmed on X that OpenAI will integrate MCP support into its Agents SDK immediately, with the ChatGPT desktop app and Responses API following soon.
