The Model Context Protocol has become the standard way for AI agents to discover and invoke tools. The Agent Development Kit and Gemini Enterprise both speak the protocol natively.[^1]

MCP provides a standardized interface for AI applications to connect with external tools. This enables agents to interact directly with enterprise systems without requiring employees to navigate user interfaces.[^3] CData launched an extension to its existing MCP server this week, building on the original product released in September 2025.[^2]

AWS Labs identified and fixed three security issues in Loom for AWS, the open source AI agent orchestration platform. All users are advised to upgrade to version 1.7.0.[^4]
