This article discusses Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard designed to connect AI agents with tools and data. It details the key components of MCP, its benefits (improved interoperability, future-proofing, and modularity), and its adoption in open-source agent frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen. It also includes case studies of MCP implementation at Block and in developer tools.
AGNTCY is an open-source collective building infrastructure for AI agents to collaborate, led by Cisco, LangChain, Galileo, and other contributors. The initiative aims to create an open, interoperable foundation for agentic AI systems to work together seamlessly across different frameworks and vendors.
AGNTCY plans to develop key components such as an agent directory, an open agent schema framework, and an agent connect protocol to facilitate this interoperability.
