Agentic AI Foundation

aid: agentic-ai-foundation
name: Agentic AI Foundation
description: The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) is a Linux Foundation project formed in December 2025 that brings together critical
  open standards and projects for AI agents under neutral governance. It hosts Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block's
  goose AI agent, and OpenAI's AGENTS.md to enable interoperable, open AI agent ecosystems. The foundation drives standardization
  of agent communication protocols, tool interfaces, and cross-platform agent portability.

  name: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  description: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems
    including data sources, tools, and workflows. Originally developed by Anthropic and donated to the Agentic AI Foundation,
    MCP enables agents to discover and invoke tools, access resources, and use reusable prompt templates through a standardized
    protocol.

  name: Goose AI Agent
  description: Goose is a general-purpose, open-source AI agent that runs locally on your machine. Originally from Block and
    now under AAIF governance, goose supports 15+ LLM providers, 70+ MCP extensions, and provides a native desktop app, CLI,
    and API. Built in Rust for cross-platform portability across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
