Anthropic News

Anthropic's announcement donating the Model Context Protocol to a new Agentic AI Foundation. The companion cites it with two other sources for the protocol's growth: more than 10,000 active public servers a year after launch, and software kits downloaded close to half a billion times a month by July 2026. It documents the habitat that people built for agents.
