The MCP Protocol Is Becoming the USB-C of AI Integration

Model Context Protocol is emerging as a standard for connecting AI agents to external systems. The way USB-C standardized how devices connect to peripherals, MCP is standardizing how AI models connect to tools, data sources, and services. Early adoption is concentrated in developer tooling, but the pattern is spreading. As more platforms expose MCP endpoints, the ability to compose AI workflows across systems without custom integration work becomes increasingly practical. The ecosystem is still early but moving fast.
