Interesting move by Anthropic! Seems clever although curious if MCP will succeed long-term or not given this.

"Since it's inception"

so for like a year?

Will the Tesla-style connector succeed long-term?

If they’re “giving it away” as a public good, much better chance of it succeeding, than attempting to lock such a “protocol” away behind their own platform solely.

MCP is just a protocol - how could it not remain open source? It's literally just JSON-RPC. Implementations are what are open source or not.
