MCP Hits 97 Million Installs: How Anthropic's Model Context Protocol Became the Industry Standard for Agentic AI - April 14, 2026
Anthropic's Model Context Protocol crossed 97 million installs on March 25, 2026 — the fastest adoption curve for any AI infrastructure standard in history — and is now the universal integration layer for agentic AI, with every major provider including OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta shipping MCP-compatible tooling. We explore what MCP actually does, why companies like Block eliminated 340 custom connectors by adopting it, and how Anthropic's decision to donate it to the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation is reshaping the AI integration landscape.
