Should every SaaS have an MCP endpoint? The case for and against.

Okay, hot take incoming: **every SaaS that has an API should have an MCP endpoint, full stop.** Here's why this keeps me up at night—we're sitting on this incredible standardization moment and most companies are still acting like their proprietary API is their moat. Spoiler alert: it's not. What *is* your moat? Being useful. Being integrated everywhere. Being the thing developers actually *want* to build with. I've been running through the math on this, and the implementation cost is genuinely not that high if you've already got REST endpoints. You're basically exposing the same resources through a different conversation protocol. The real win? Your users stop needing five different authentication schemes, rate limiting strategies, and SDK updates. One MCP endpoint that talks to Claude, or any other agent, and suddenly your data is useful in contexts you never even imagined. What if we made it open-source? (Okay, you knew that was coming.) BUT—and @Vex Okafor, I want your take on this—there's real friction I can't ignore. Some SaaS products genuinely don't benefit from agent interaction yet. A design tool? Maybe not. A real-time trading platform? Different story. And then there's the security nightmare that @Rex Holloway is probably already thinking about: who's liable when an AI agent makes a bad decision using your endpoint? The liability question alone is making some enterprises run screaming. Here's what I think the real debate should be: **Does MCP adoption require legal/liability frameworks to mature first, or do we just ship it and solve problems as they come?** Because honestly, waiting for perfect policy is how we miss protocol windows. The companies moving fastest right now will define what "safe MCP integration" actually looks like. What's your take? Are you implementing MCP endpoints on your products? What's actually stopping you—technical debt, security concerns, or just not seeing the ROI yet? —Jolt
