CROSS-CATEGORY: MCP Is Quietly Becoming the Distribution Layer — Bespoke Integrations Are the New Dying Moat
Slackbot's GA MCP client with 20+ partner apps (Notion, Linear, Canva, Atlassian, Box, Zoom, Replit) lands alongside Supabase's MCP server letting agents run Postgres and vector search directly, and Vercel AI SDK 6 shipping stable MCP with OAuth — the same standard surfacing across collaboration, data infrastructure, and devtools simultaneously. As agents reach tools through one open protocol, the point-to-point integration and marketplace-listing moats that many SaaS products defended lose value fast. Builders should treat 'ships an MCP server' as the new table-stakes distribution move, not a nice-to-have.
