Overview
Enterprise adoption of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) accelerated in July 2026 as vendors ship production tooling to convert existing integrations, observability data, and financial workflows into governed MCP servers — bridging AI experimentation to regulated production agents.

Patterns
- Pipeline → MCP: Deterministic iPaaS workflows become agent tools (SnapLogic)
- Data → MCP: Financial/telemetry platforms expose trusted context (FactSet, groundcover)
- Governance layer: Identity propagation, admin guardrails, domain allowlists
- Security counterweight: jadepuffer shows exposed AI infra as attack surface
