There are ongoing conferences and partnerships focused on the evolution of MCP, addressing enterprise deployment needs and identity authorization challenges.

We're committing to making MCP the standard protocol for agentic communication between agents and services, enabling seamless integration of Microsoft's first-party platform components.

Agents need to be connected to the broader world through protocols like MCP and A2A to take actions on behalf of users effectively.

The MCP community is expanding, with contributions from both large companies and open-source developers, enhancing the protocol's development and maintenance.

The utility of a protocol like MCP is enhanced by its ubiquity, allowing developers to build on a standard that everyone can use, fostering innovation across the ecosystem.

MCP has rapidly gained traction because it fills a crucial niche in the open agentic web ecosystem, functioning similarly to HTTP by allowing sophisticated actions without imposing strict payload opinions.

MCP has become an industry standard for integration protocols, with many companies now adopting it into their products and creating servers to connect with various clients.

We're excited to explore how to bring the benefits of agents to users and the ecosystem more broadly, focusing on personalization and context.

The current state of MCP includes major players adopting it across their products, with over 10,000 MCP server builders contributing to a growing ecosystem.
