MCP standardizes the tool layer agents can inspect and invoke
The MCP specification gives agent builders a shared protocol for exposing tools, resources, prompts, and capability negotiation across hosts, clients, and servers.

Why this signal matters
MCP defines a concrete integration layer for agent systems: hosts, clients, servers, tools, resources, prompts, capability negotiation, and JSON-RPC communication. That makes it a useful signal for teams building agent-readable systems because tool discovery and invocation can follow a shared protocol instead of one-off API conventions.
