主持人：MCP协议的快速普及是AI代理发展速度的体现，企业更注重快速发展而非争夺基础设施所有权，这将加快AI代理应用的上市速度。未来一年内，许多非技术人员将通过各种工具与MCP协议进行有效互动。MCP是一个开放标准，允许开发者在数据源和AI工具之间建立安全的双向连接，简化了开发过程，如同一个通用的适配器，简化了AI代理访问API的过程。AI代理需要访问工具和资源才能执行有意义的任务，MCP为此提供了支持。OpenAI最初的策略曾引发人们对新的标准之争的担忧，但最终OpenAI选择支持MCP，避免了标准之争。MCP的成功并非因为其技术上的绝对优势，而是因为其网络效应，即广泛的采用率。MCP的成功原因在于其拥有强大的支持者和开放的标准，而OpenAI的方案虽然功能性强，但封闭性限制了其发展。大型实验室提出的标准更容易成功，这与公平无关。Anthropic在AI工程师中的影响力也促进了MCP的普及。重要的是达成共识，而非标准本身。OpenAI和Anthropic的支持为MCP的普及发出了强烈的信号。MCP标准的统一将显著加快新AI代理功能的开发和部署速度。OpenAI选择支持MCP，是因为其认为这比拥有标准本身更有价值，这将显著加快AI代理的发展。
