While MCP is open; Affinity doesn't provide config in documentation to connect any other agent.

Anthropic is clearly rushing to own as many verticals as they can and doing some sort of coordinated release with all these companies for things like the new MCP integrations announced today for design products. Maybe it’s a secret deal for exclusivity if they benefit from the marketing Anthropic provides?

Either way it’s not great for the ecosystem. These moats Anthropic is trying to make are basically anti competitive.
