PANews reported on May 6 that BNB Chain recently released a new open protocol, Model Context Protocol (MCP for short), which provides standardized support for establishing secure, two-way communications between AI applications and external data or tool systems, marking a key step towards achieving plug-and-play integration of AI agents in the Web3 field.

As part of BNB Chain's "AI First" strategy, the MCP protocol can connect blockchain data and AI models through standardized interfaces, helping developers build smarter, context-aware applications. Developers no longer need to build customized interfaces for each tool or data set, but only need to access this secure standard framework designed for the coordinated development of Web3 and AI, and focus on development in their own fields.

The core advantages of MCP include: data privacy protection; auditability of on-chain interactions; model protection and encryption mechanisms; support for AML/KYC compliance, etc.

This launch also echoes other BNB Chain AI First themes, such as the ongoing BNB AI Hackathon around the world, the official AI Agent solution, which provides toolkits and launch support for developers, and can accelerate project development through the AI Fast Track Program, and MVB for mature projects.
