According to the Zhitong Finance APP, Kaiyuan Securities has released a research report stating that it remains optimistic about the rise of the AI Agent industry in 2025. Chinese and American tech giants are intensively laying out the MCP protocol, which still uses the concept of Function Call at its core but has a higher degree of industrialization, stimulating the emergence of unified tools for the protocol. The firm believes that the MCP protocol is expected to significantly enhance the configuration efficiency of AI Agents with external tools and accelerate the expansion of AI application scenarios.
<h2>Key Points from Kaiyuan Securities:</h2>
Since April, Alibaba, Google, Tencent, and others have announced the launch of MCP services.
On April 9, Alibaba Cloud launched the industry's first full lifecycle MCP service, significantly lowering the development threshold for Agents. The Bailian platform has initially launched over 50 MCP services from Alibaba Group and third parties, including Amap, Wuying, Fetch, and Notion, to meet the development needs of Agent applications in different scenarios. On April 10, Google Deep Mind CEO Demis Hassabis announced that support for the MCP context protocol led by Anthropic would be added to its Gemini model, calling it &#34;an excellent protocol that is rapidly becoming the open standard of the AI Agent era.&#34; On April 14, Tencent Cloud announced an upgrade to its large model knowledge engine to support the MCP protocol, allowing users to call selected MCP plugins from the platform or insert custom MCP plugins when building applications.
Chinese and American tech giants are intensively laying out the MCP protocol.
MCP is a standard protocol designed to address the high technical costs of calling external tools in Agent development. It allows developers of various applications to provide tools for large models through a unified protocol. MCP was initially proposed and open-sourced by Anthropic, aiming to create an open and standard specification that enables large language models to interact quickly with various external data sources and tools (such as business software, databases, code repositories, etc.). With the support of major players like OpenAI and Google, as well as domestic companies like Alibaba and Tencent, MCP is accelerating its acceptance as a widely recognized standard.
