my personal understanding (anyone feel free to correct me here) of MCP is that it is basically a standardized interface for tool use. So, if you as an API provider (e.g. stripe) want agents to connect to your API, you can offer an MCP server that serves as a middleman between you and the agent. What we fundamentally do is serve also as a middleman, but not (primarily, yet) for agents, but for normal (non-AI) applications that would otherwise need to use the REST/SOAP/whatever API with a bunch of integration code. Also, MCP does not do any data transformation, that would be on the agent to do.
