Anthropic sets a new standard for AI collaboration with MCP

On December 9, 2025, Anthropic took a major step toward creating a more unified AI ecosystem by donating its Model Context Protocol (MCP) to the newly established Agentic AI Foundation. This move was supported by a massive 200 million dollar partnership with Snowflake to bring autonomous AI agents into the world of enterprise data. The goal of the MCP is to create a universal language that allows different AI models and software tools to work together seamlessly. Instead of being locked into a single ecosystem, developers can now build "agents" that can pull information from various databases and tools regardless of who made them.

For the everyday user of web services, this technical milestone means that the internet is about to become much smarter and more integrated. Imagine a web-based personal assistant that doesn't just give you information but can actually complete tasks across different platforms — like organizing a business trip by talking to your calendar, your company’s expense tool, and travel booking sites simultaneously. By standardizing how these AI agents communicate, Anthropic is paving the way for a more connected digital world where complex tasks that used to take hours can be handled by a single, coordinated AI workflow.
