Several leading technology and artificial intelligence companies recently announced the joint establishment of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), a dedicated fund under the Linux Foundation. Its founding members include Anthropic, OpenAI, and Block, with additional support from Google, Microsoft, AWS, Cloudflare, Docker, and Bloomberg.
The MCP protocol—originally developed by Anthropic—was designed to interconnect disparate applications and retrieve data from them. Upon release, it was immediately adopted by OpenAI and Google. Its development has since accelerated rapidly, enabling efficient orchestration of diverse tools while reducing latency in complex agent workflows.
With the formation of the AAIF, Anthropic has announced the donation of the MCP protocol to the Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to fostering sustainable open-source ecosystems through neutral governance, community development, and shared infrastructure. The AAIF will operate as a directed fund within the Linux Foundation.
The foundation’s initial portfolio also includes OpenAI’s AGENTS.md and Block’s Goose project, both of which have been donated to AAIF. The foundation will oversee their future operation and coordination, ensuring that these initiatives remain aligned with principles of technical neutrality, openness, and community stewardship—thereby promoting innovation across the broader AI ecosystem.
Anthropic emphasized that this transition will not alter the MCP protocol’s governance model. Project maintainers will continue to prioritize community feedback and transparent decision-making processes, underscoring Anthropic’s commitment to preserving MCP as an open and vendor-neutral standard.
