ToolsThe story, in brief
AI’s USB-C Moment Is Here: It’s Called MCP
MCP just became AI's USB-C moment. Static models are dead.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
MCP (Model Context Protocol) represents a standardization shift that enables AI systems to access real-time data and tools dynamically, breaking the constraint of frozen training snapshots. This is a foundational infrastructure play that changes how enterprises deploy and extend AI capabilities.
