Anthropic expands into physical AI, unveils hardware version of MCP called MHS
Anthropic has unveiled a new interface standard, the Model Hardware Standard, designed to help AI agents operate machines and communicate with equipment more easily. MHS is built to work on any device with a programmable interface, including scientific research tools and advanced manufacturing equipment. Anthropic said it is like a USB-C cable that standardises how information is exchanged between devices. The standard aims to reduce installation and integration time and is not tied to a specific AI model.
