Executive Summary
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as a key integration layer for agentic AI in industrial operations, enabling AI agents to access operational technology (OT) data, enterprise systems and shop-floor applications. While adoption in commercial software environments has progressed quickly, industrial deployments face additional challenges, such as the need for data contextualization, governance controls and strict safety considerations. This report profiles 10 industrial software vendors developing MCP server capabilities and highlights the different approaches they are taking to expose industrial data, analytics and operational workflows to AI agents. Buyers evaluating agentic AI strategies should use this report to understand how MCP is being applied across the industrial software landscape and which vendors best align with their operational priorities.About the Authors
