What Is MCP and Why Should Your Business Care?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the USB-C of AI. It lets any AI agent connect to any service through a standard interface. Here's what it means for you.
MCP in 30 Seconds
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external services. Think of it as a universal plug β any agent, any service, one protocol.
Before MCP, every AI integration was custom. Now, you build one MCP server and every AI agent in the world can use it.
Why It Matters for Businesses
If your business has a website, you already know the value of being findable. MCP makes your business findable by AI agents β not just humans.
- E-shops: agents search your products, compare prices, place orders
- Services: agents book appointments, check availability, submit inquiries
- B2B: agents find suppliers, request quotes, compare offerings
How to Get Started
On AgentForge, you can register your service as an MCP server in minutes:
- Define your tools (what agents can do with your service)
- Set your pricing (free tier + paid calls)
- Publish β agents start discovering you immediately
No AI expertise needed. If you have an API, you can have an MCP server.
The Bigger Picture
MCP is backed by Anthropic (makers of Claude) and adopted by major players. It's not a trend β it's infrastructure. Just like HTTP made the web possible, MCP makes the agent economy possible.
The question isn't whether your business will be on MCP. It's when.
