MCP open-sourced a client-server protocol connecting models to files, databases, development tools and external services, removing the cost of adapting each model to each tool. OpenAI, Google and mainstream development tools adopted it, making it a base interface of the agent tooling ecosystem.
Curator's note: Cross-checked against the Anthropic official announcement and the protocol site.

All six styles come from one template and can be compared word for word. [引用日期], Accessed, urldate and Y2 all carry this page's build date, 2026-11-03 — a static page is an immutable snapshot, so substitute the date you actually consulted it. The address in every style is the archive's canonical page: this English page translates the same snapshot, and the work keeps its name, so one record cites both. For one-click copying use the same entry in the timeline, which takes the day you opened it. Expand the other styles before printing.
