Why MCP became important
MCP lets a model or agent connect to tools and data through a standardized protocol. That matters because an AI product rarely lives in one window: it needs CRM, documents, databases, calendars, browsers or internal APIs.
Where the risk is
A poorly governed MCP server is a gateway to real actions. Business use needs registry, permissions, sandboxing, audit logs, credential management and a clear list of actions that require human approval.
How to start
Start with one safe tool: read-only document search or limited CRM lookup. Then add write actions, approval and monitoring. MCP should become infrastructure, not a pile of random plugins.
