The Model Context Protocol (MCP) promises seamless AI access to enterprise data, but its value depends on data and user needs. Used well, it bridges flexibility and governance. But it risks confusion if used in the wrong places. The real advantage lies in disciplined data design that makes intelligence reliable across the investment enterprise.
