Strategic Implications of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The AI assistant (MCP Client) that provides the most helpful, reliable, and secure experience will win users, assuming it can connect to all the data the user needs. Data-rich companies (MCP Servers) may initially be hesitant to feed this ecosystem, but if MCP becomes ubiquitous, the pressure will mount for them to participate or risk their data silos being bypassed in favor of more open alternatives.
