OpenAI Announces Support for Anthropic’s MCP Standard, Agent SDK to Integrate MCP

OpenAI Embraces MCP to Enhance AI Assistant Accuracy and Relevance

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the company will officially support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard developed by its competitor, Anthropic. MCP aims to improve the accuracy and relevance of AI assistants in specific queries, enabling them to respond to user needs more effectively.

Altman stated that OpenAI plans to integrate MCP into multiple products, including the ChatGPT desktop application. He added, “The market response to MCP has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are excited to bring MCP support to our products.” Currently, MCP has already been integrated into the Agents SDK and will soon expand to the ChatGPT desktop app and response API.


What is MCP and Why is It Important?

MCP is designed to allow AI to access information from various data sources, such as enterprise tools, software applications, and content repositories, enabling more precise task execution. This technology allows developers to create bidirectional connections, ensuring that AI no longer operates in isolation but integrates with external data sources.

With MCP, developers can establish:

  • MCP Servers: These provide data sources that AI can access when needed.
  • MCP Clients: Applications and workflows that connect to MCP servers, allowing AI models to retrieve real-time information.

This architecture means that AI is no longer solely dependent on training data but can dynamically interact with external databases or enterprise systems, enhancing response accuracy and real-time capabilities.


Industry-Wide Adoption: MCP Becomes a Key AI Development Standard

Since Anthropic open-sourced MCP, several tech companies have announced their support for the standard, including Block, Apollo, Replit, Codeium, and Sourcegraph.

Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer, Mike Krieger, expressed his excitement on X, stating, “Great to see MCP’s impact extending to OpenAI—welcome aboard!” He also highlighted that MCP has become a thriving open standard, with thousands of applications already integrated. For large language models, the ability to connect with existing data and software is crucial to unlocking their full potential.


Future Outlook: OpenAI’s Path with MCP

OpenAI has stated that more details about MCP integration will be released in the coming months. The industry is eagerly anticipating how this technology will evolve, as it has the potential to revolutionize how AI collaborates with existing systems and expands its applications.

With OpenAI, Anthropic, and other tech companies driving MCP adoption, the standard is likely to become a critical technology for AI to connect with real-world data, enabling smarter, real-time, and highly accurate AI assistant experiences.
