MCP Aims to Reduce Developer Distractions and Boost Focus
Originally Published 4 months ago — by VentureBeat
Recent research shows developers spend only 16% of their time coding, with the rest on operational tasks, largely due to frequent context switching between tools. The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic, aims to streamline workflows by integrating AI assistants directly with external tools and data sources, potentially transforming software development into a more efficient, all-in-one process. However, MCP faces security, scalability, and practical adoption challenges that need addressing before widespread enterprise use.
