MCP Just Crossed the Chasm

I’ve been running MCP servers in my daily workflow for months. For most of that time, it felt like a well-kept secret — powerful, practical, and almost entirely invisible outside developer circles.

That changed this week.

Opera’s Neon browser shipped native MCP support for agentic browsing. Oracle NetSuite launched MCP Apps for their AI Connector Service. Supabase published MCP authentication docs. A Paris chauffeur company — a chauffeur company — released an open-source MCP server. Agent-Infra dropped AIO Sandbox, an all-in-one agentic runtime built around MCP. Cotality launched an MCP server for property intelligence data.

Browsers, ERPs, real estate data, ground transportation logistics — all in one week.

This is what crossing the chasm actually looks like from the inside. Not a flashy announcement or a viral demo — just a sudden cluster of organizations in completely unrelated industries deciding that MCP is the integration layer they want to build on.

The “integration over capability” principle I keep writing about has a concrete mechanism now. MCP is how you connect AI to the systems that actually run your business. The organizations figuring that out early aren’t the ones chasing the newest model — they’re the ones quietly wiring things together.
