The Linux Foundation has formed the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) to promote open-source AI projects. This initiative includes contributions from Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI, focusing on standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and tools for developing autonomous AI agents. The foundation aims to foster collaboration and transparency in the AI ecosystem.

Anthropic is donating the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to the Agentic AI Foundation, which is part of the Linux Foundation. This move aims to promote the open-source development of agentic AI technologies and maintain MCP as a neutral standard in the ecosystem. The donation will support ongoing community-driven governance and collaboration.
