Thoughtworks: The Model Context Protocol’s impact on 2025

Thoughtworks writes about Model Context Protocol’s (MCP) transformative impact on 2025 software development, highlighting its role in accelerating agentic AI adoption by simplifying connections between AI systems and external data sources .The blog identifies emerging techniques including context engineering for systematic LLM information optimization, AI-powered UI testing via Playwright-mcp and mcp-selenium servers, and anchoring coding agents to reference applications to prevent code drift, while cautioning against security vulnerabilities (tool poisoning, cross-server shadowing) and antipatterns like naive API-to-MCP conversion.
