You down with MCP? Who’s down with MCP? Just came across the Model Context Protocol (MCP) from Anthropic. 😎 Think of it as OAuth for AI agents, defining and controlling how they access tools and data. Or maybe a new syslog for AI agents, logging every interaction for auditing and anomaly detection. Either way, feels like the start of something important in security. Here’s why I’m paying attention: 1️⃣ Momentum: Anthropic not only created MCP, but they’re spending big resources to define how “Agentic architectures” should work. 2️⃣ Structure: MCP gives us a framework to monitor and audit AI interactions, a critical need as these systems scale. 3️⃣ Transparency: By focusing on data connectivity, permissions, and access control, MCP could open the door to the next gen of AI security tools. 4️⃣ Consistency: Predictability matters in security, and MCP’s structured approach could make it easier to validate and trust these systems. What could people actually do with MCP? I dunno, maybe build an AI monitoring product, audit agents for compliance, use it to change permissions, see the data they're accessing, log activity for misuse, etc. It feels like one of those early signals of a new "inspection point", like eBPF for containers. Anyone in cybersecurity focusing on this layer?! https://lnkd.in/ey3X9eVV https://lnkd.in/e-82jcWy #cybersecurity #AI

Totally down with MCP. About time someone created this "protocol". Btw C could be better off as "Control" to make it more compelling 🙂
