Press Release: “The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced the formation of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), and founding contributions of three leading projects driving innovation in open source AI; Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block’s goose, and OpenAI’s AGENTS.md.
The advent of agentic AI represents a new era of autonomous decision making and coordination across AI systems that will transform and revolutionize entire industries. The AAIF provides a neutral, open foundation to ensure this critical capability evolves transparently, collaboratively, and in ways that advance the adoption of leading open source AI projects. Its inaugural projects, AGENTS.md, goose and MCP, lay the groundwork for a shared ecosystem of tools, standards, and community-driven innovation…
The launch of the AAIF comes just one year after the release of MCP by Anthropic, provider of advanced AI systems grounded in safety research, including Claude and the Claude Developer Platform. MCP has rapidly become the universal standard protocol for connecting AI models to tools, data and applications, with more than 10,000 published MCP servers now covering everything from developer tools to Fortune 500 deployments. The protocol has been adopted by Claude, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, VS Code, ChatGPT and other popular AI platforms, as developers and enterprises gravitate toward its simple integration method, security controls, and faster deployment…(More)”.
