MCP (Model Context Protocol)
The USB-C of the Cognitive Enterprise stack.
In one sentence
Open connection standard between agents and external systems: CRM, database, email, ERP. It is the USB-C of the Cognitive Enterprise stack: any tool that speaks MCP plugs into any agent that speaks MCP.
Before
Custom integration for each system
What it does
Common connection protocol
After
Any agent plugs into any system
Example
The child registration system, donation system, and email expose MCP. Any agent that speaks MCP plugs into all three without custom integration.
When the organization replaces the donation system, it replaces the MCP server. The agents do not change a single line.
In practice
- One server per system, not one per agent.
- Expose business operations, not tables:
relatorio_do_ano, notselect * from. - Version the server. A schema change breaks all agents at once.
How to make it tangible
One MCP server per internal system, exposing the operations the agents need.
