Paradigm Shift: From “Internet of People” to “Internet of Agents” and MCP Protocol: As internet user growth peaks, the industry focus is shifting from connecting people (Internet of People) to connecting AI agents (Internet of Agents). AI Agents can perform tasks and invoke services on behalf of users, while open standards like MCP (Model Context Protocol) enable interoperability between different models and tools, akin to a “USB-C” for the AI world. This could reshape the platform power landscape, weakening the monopoly of traditional traffic portals on content distribution and user attention, while bringing opportunities for revival to dormant small/medium websites and services (if they connect to the protocol and become “capability plugins”). Platform metrics might shift from DAU to AAU (Active Agent Units), content supply shifts from UGC towards AIGC, interaction evolves from GUI towards CUI/API, blurring the lines between ToC and ToB, moving towards a ToAI ecosystem. Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and major Chinese companies have all made moves related to MCP or similar protocols (Source: Punk Store)
