"We already see that there is now a shortage of people who possess MCP skills that we are hiring for,"
"MCP development skills are rapidly becoming 'must-have' in the AI field, and the industry is responding with educational programs to cultivate those skills,"
"While a standalone, universally recognized MCP certification doesn't exist yet, it feels almost inevitable if MCP continues its rise."
"Anthropic is actively hiring roles that focus on MCP documentation, which suggests bigger plans for making the protocol more consistent and adding to it,"
Anthropic released the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in November 2024, and MCP quickly emerged as a leading standard for connecting large language models with tools and data. Demand for developers with MCP expertise has surged across enterprises and startups, creating a skills shortage. No formal MCP certification currently exists from Anthropic or any certifying body, so hiring managers and developers rely on online courses and informal credentials. Hiring activity and platform work indicate momentum toward formal certification, but certificates alone may not reliably demonstrate hands-on competency or effectiveness in complex real-world MCP implementations.
