Microsoft is embracing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a core component of Windows 11, aiming to transform the operating system into an "agentic" platform. This integration will enable AI agents to interact seamlessly with applications, files, and services, streamlining tasks for users without requiring manual inputs. Announced at the Build 2025 developer conference, this move will allow AI agents to carry out tasks across apps and services.
MCP functions as a lightweight, open-source protocol that allows AI agents, apps, and services to share information and access tools securely. It standardizes communication, making it easier for different applications and agents to interact, whether they are local tools or online services. Windows 11 will enforce multiple security layers, including proxy-mediated communication and tool-level authorization.
Microsoft's commitment to AI agents also includes the NLWeb project, designed to transform websites into conversational interfaces. NLWeb enables users to interact directly with website content through natural language, without needing apps or plugins. Furthermore, the NLWeb project turns supported websites into MCP servers, allowing agents to discover and utilize the site’s content. GenAIScript has also been updated to enhance security of Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, addressing vulnerabilities. Options for tools signature hashing and prompt injection detection via content scanners provide safeguards across tool definitions and outputs.
