Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for AI agent tool integration.

Used as an open standard to enable AI agent access to system-level diagnostic tools for kernel trace analysis.

Security audit reveals 43% of MCP servers are vulnerable to command execution and 341 malicious skills found on marketplaces, exposing systemic flaws.

Research reveals 66% of MCP servers have critical security vulnerabilities, with an average security score of 34/100.

MCP servers for major IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi) became available, enabling direct integration with Claude Code.

Benchmark reveals MCP servers add 37% more input tokens compared to CLI commands for Claude Code
