The ability of different AI systems, tools, and data to work together through shared protocols and standards.
AI interoperability is like the shipping container. Any cargo, any ship, any port — one shared size, and the whole world can move it.
It works through shared rules like APIs and MCP. The more systems speak them, the less you get locked in.
AI Standards
AI Standards set the shared rules for AI interoperability.
API
APIs are the doors systems use to talk to each other.
MCP
MCP gives agents one common way to connect with tools.
AI Vendor Lock-in
Better interoperability makes AI Vendor Lock-in less likely.
