Practitioner guides now treat an MCP server as mandatory SaaS packaging in 2026, citing adoption from Anthropic's Nov-2024 launch (~2M monthly SDK downloads) to OpenAI (~22M) to Microsoft Copilot Studio (~45M). The distribution inversion: products win by being callable inside the user's agent rather than owning a destination UI. The marketplace-to-API-to-agent-skill shift hit default status. UI as moat is depreciating fastest.
