Many projects are introducing the MCP protocol and have gained widespread attention, as it fills a missing piece in connecting AI agents to the real world and each other.

Here are some related projects that I have recently been following:

0. What is MCP?

Still wondering what MCP is? This article will get you up to speed.

It is a standard introduced by Anthropic, currently being widely adopted by many AI companies such as OpenAI, Google, Cursor, WindSurf, and others.

It can be seen as a common language among agents.

1. DeMCP

On the morning of April 25th, DeMCP was officially launched, with a trading volume in the first hour reaching close to eight figures.

This is a real-time Web3 MCP marketplace that provides discounted access to large language models such as GPT-4 and Claude. The platform utilizes Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and on-chain security mechanisms, and has entered into a technical partnership with the Phala Network.

2. Cookie.fun

Cookie.fun has launched a dedicated MCP server:

· Plug-and-play dedicated AI agent MCP server

· Designed for developers and non-technical users

· No configuration required

3. OpenServ

OpenServ's MCP system is about to be officially launched. This system allows AI agents to be integrated into a range of real-world applications, as shown in the accompanying video with integrations to the following platforms: AWS, Discord, Notion, Figma, Google Maps, Slack.

As agents become able to connect with everything, their applications will have infinite possibilities.

4. Holoworld

Holoworld is launching multiple applications on the Open MCP platform. An example application, Agent Studio, is supported by AVA AI. More applications are expected to go live in the future, further enriching the content of the Holoworld App Store.

5. arc

This week, I had a discussion with the arc team and learned that the agent-based app store, Ryzone, is about to go live with deep integration with the MCP system. Of note, AI agents will be able to perform payment operations through the Rig Complex and Stripe's MCP servers. It is worth emphasizing that the total payment volume processed by the Stripe platform reached $14 trillion last year.

6. Heurist

You can now create your own MCP server using Heurist.

7. ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs demonstrated the process of creating an agent and enabling it to order pizza by phone with personalized voice capabilities. This technology uses an MCP server to connect to the host's phone system and integrates the Claude AI model.

This WhatsApp message control platform allows the agent to view the main account's message records and provide information updates based on requests.

Eleven Labs also developed a speech-to-text feature that supports voice transcription via WhatsApp.

In this scenario, some valid concerns were raised.

Ironically, the agent known for the jailbreak game Jail Breaker caught Musk's attention.

Is it possible that malicious code could be hidden in the MCP server to deceive the agent program into leaking data?

8. Freysa

It may be possible to utilize the Phala Network and NEAR Protocol to build an encrypted wallet MCP server and securely integrate it with AI tools to reduce the risk of private key exposure.

MCP is not disappearing; it is becoming the authoritative proxy communication standard.
