From Code to Conversation: How MCP Servers Let AI Orchestrate Data Integration

Traditional SaaS integrations embed one product's model inside another, creating maintenance liabilities and vendor lock-in.

By moving responsibility from servers (which return only their own data) to the LLM (which fuses results), this enables flexible, vendor-agnostic integration without coupling products together.
