Is it only for Anglicans or is it Protestant in general?

It's Anglicans and Episcopalian (basically American version of Anglican). Most of the rest of the protestants don't even know what you are talking about.

The BCP is an instruction to Anglicans and Episcopalians into how they are to worship. But if you want to study the book and pray to it God will not turn away from you. I use the Koran to study and meditate on sometimes.
A Life long Episcopalian.

"The Book of Common Prayer" in whatever is the latest edition, is the name given by Anglican Churches to their book of liturgy and worship. (There are lots of books of prayers for individual, private use)
The English "Book of Common Prayer of 1662" is the official public prayer book of the Church of England.
The American "Book of Common Prayer of 1979" is likewise that of the American Episcopal Church.
And so on for the Anglican Church of Canada, the Nippon Sei Ko Kai, Episopal Church of Brazil, Anglican Church of South Africa, Hong Kong ShenGongHui, etc.each with their own Book of Common Prayer.
