Model context Protocol (MCP) -A AI agents, an open standard of open standard designed to interact without problems with tools, information and interfaces – simply hit an important stage. Today, the developers behind the initiative have completed an updated version of the main upgrades to coordinate AI agents more reliable, competent and mutually.
[Update: In a very significant move, OpenAI, the industry leader in generative AI, followed the MCP announcement today by saying it also is adding support for MCP across its products. CEO Sam Altman said the support is available today in OpenAI’s Agents SDK and that support for ChatGPT’s desktop app and the Responses API would be coming soon.]
In an outstanding action, two days ago Microsoft In addition to this release recently, including a new launch of MCP Playwright-McP Server This allows AI agents to interact with sites using Claude, Internet and Chrome accessory tree.
“This new version is a major leap for the agent tool communication,” said Alex Albert, the main contributor of the MCP project “ in the post On Twitter. “The establishment of Microsoft’s real-world infrastructure on it shows how quickly this ecosystem is developing.”
What’s Updated MCP version?
March 26 updates brings several important protocol level changes:
OAuth 2.1 Based Authorization Framework: Agent-server connection, especially adds a solid standard to provide HTTP-based transport.
Internal http transport: In real time with better compatibility, it replaces the old HTTP + SSE setup that provides two-year data flow.
JSON-RPC batching: Allows customers to send more than one request, improving efficiency and reduce delays in agental tool interactions.
Tool Annotes: Adding a rich metadata to describe the tool behavior that provides more imaginative discovery and thinking by AI agents.

The protocol uses a modular JSON-RPC 2.0 base with a architecture that separates the main transport, life management, server properties (as resources and instructions) and customer features (selection or entry). The developers can choose and choose which components, depending on the use of.
Microsoft’s contribution: Browser automation via MCP
As mentioned, Microsoft was released two days ago Dramaturqu-McpA server connecting a powerful browser automation tool in MCP standard. This can do more than talking to AI agents now like Claude – they can go to write, browse and interact with the Internet as a true user.
The chromium is built in a tree, a person in the integrated cloday allows you to access and describe the page content page in a man read. Available tools include:
Installation is easy: users will add a playwright as a command in claude_desktop_config.json and the Claude Desktop application will recognize timely tools.
Larger picture: Interaction on scale

Anthropical first introduced Mcp To resolve a growing pain in the late 2023: AI agents must interact with real world instruments, but each application speaks a different “language”. The tools between the MCP ecosystems are aimed at correcting the tool to describe and use a general protocol to use.
Anthropic, Langchain and now supported by Microsoft, MCP, agent is a serious bidder to become a standard layer of interaction. The MCP first, the questions, the questions of Anthropi, the largest opponent, Openai said they would support the protocol. Of course, Openai’s great ally Microsoft was another question mark. Supporting the protocol of both players, was urgently built between enterprises and open source communities. Openai itself, the latest agents announced a week ago open the ecosystem around the latest agents of the SDC and The action strengthened the support of Openai’s API formats a standardConsidering that others are in order as anthropic and Google. Thus, Seeing Openai’s API formats and MCP’s support, standardization has seen a great victory over the past few weeks.
“We are entering the EU protocol period” tweeted AI startup Pleea co-founder Alexander Doria. “This is how the agents will actually be do things. “
What’s next?
MCP 0.2 and the foundation is set for a new generation that can think, with the release of Microsoft’s financial support, and act comfortably and flexibly.

Now the big question: Will others follow? If you are input in Meta, Amazon or Apple, MCP will soon be a universal “language” of AI actions.
So far, a great day for an agent ecosystem that has promised the reality of the EU relations.
