MCP Crosses 97 Million Installs in March 2026 — Cementing Transition from Experimental Standard to Foundational Agentic Infrastructure

FutureTech AI Marketing·medium signal

The Model Context Protocol hit 97 million installs in March 2026, with the Agentic AI Foundation formed under the Linux Foundation in December 2025 to govern the standard. Combined with Activepieces exposing 400+ integrations as MCP servers, Gong adding MCP client/server support, and Slack accessing apps via MCP, the protocol is now the default integration layer for AI agents. For builders: if your SaaS product doesn't expose an MCP server, AI agents can't use it — and that's an existential risk in 2026.
