# Anthropic

## Profile

**Anthropic** is an AI research lab, the developer of the Claude family of models.

## Role in This Source

Cited twice as the institutional driver of the shift toward [[concept-context-engineering]]:

1. Published foundational work on Context Engineering in **September 2025** (per speaker).
2. Introduced the **Model Context Protocol** ([[entity-mcp]]) in **late 2024**.
3. Donated MCP to the **Linux Foundation** in **December 2025** (per speaker).

This positions Anthropic as the de facto thought leader for Layer 1 of the [[framework-intent-gap-layers]] — [[concept-unified-context-infrastructure]].

## Enrichment Caveat

The enrichment overlay was **unable to verify** the specific 2025 Context Engineering paper or the Linux Foundation donation. Treat these as speaker-asserted milestones rather than confirmed facts.
