Anthropic Acquires Stainless (Taking Control of SDK Pipeline)
Event: Anthropic has acquired Stainless—the SDK generation pipeline that both OpenAI and Gemini rely on. Stainless also possesses the most mature MCP server tool stack.
Signal: Anthropic now controls both the MCP protocol (an open standard) and the most mainstream protocol implementation toolchain. While MCP remains open, the key question is whether competitors will continue investing in a protocol that is increasingly tied to a single vendor.
