AI chaos creates MCP hole
The AI industry is an absolute mess. The technologies necessary for its operation are siloed and opaque to customers without the technical skills to understand them. The chaos of model context protocol (MCP) adoption is a case in point.
Anthropic’s created MCP and released last November). The companies chatbot, Claude, said the protocol “bridges the gap between AI models and the external world.” More simply, it is an AI application integrator. MCP servers are supposed to do this securely without giving access to sensitive areas of a user's computer or network. Multiple reports from security researchers say it fails miserably in that effort. That makes current agentic AI technology development dangerous. Undaunted, corporate momentum and boardroom ignorance is driving it forward.
