Ecosystem Maturity
Early Adoption Considerations
MCP's ecosystem, while growing rapidly, is still evolving:
- Limited Support: Not all AI platforms or LLM providers fully support MCP yet
- Potential Fragmentation: Risk of competing standards or plugin frameworks
- Connector Availability: May need to implement missing connectors for some services
- Version Changes: Possible breaking changes as the specification evolves
Adoption Landscape
- Strong Support: Anthropic's Claude and various agent frameworks
- Limited Support: OpenAI models don't natively speak MCP (though experimental SDKs exist)
- Growing Momentum: Many see MCP as a neutral, model-agnostic solution
Adopting MCP early means accepting some uncertainty, but the standard shows strong promise for becoming the dominant approach to AI tool integration.
