OpenAI has announced it will adopt Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) across its product line. This surprising move involves integrating MCP support into the Agents SDK immediately, followed by the ChatGPT desktop app and Responses API. MCP is an open standard introduced last November by Anthropic, designed to enable developers to build secure, two-way connections between their data sources and AI-powered tools. This collaboration between rivals marks a significant shift in the AI landscape, as competitors typically develop proprietary systems.
MCP aims to standardize how AI assistants access, query, and interact with business tools and repositories in real-time, overcoming the limitation of AI being isolated from systems where work happens. It allows AI models like ChatGPT to connect directly to the systems where data lives, eliminating the need for custom integrations for each data source. Other companies, including Block, Apollo, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph, have already added MCP support, and Anthropic's Chief Product Officer Mike Krieger welcomes OpenAI's adoption, highlighting MCP as a thriving open standard with growing integrations.
