The Problem

Product Hunt's March 2026 leaderboard tells the story: AI agents are everywhere. Jentic Mini gives agents access to 10,000+ APIs. Linear Agent, Claude Computer Use, Magine, Notte — every day brings new agents that want to interact with existing software. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) has become the de facto standard for AI-to-tool communication.

But here's the gap: while agents are multiplying, the SaaS products they need to interact with are mostly NOT agent-accessible. Building an MCP server requires understanding the protocol spec, implementing tool definitions, handling authentication, managing state, and deploying infrastructure. For a SaaS team of 5-20 developers already shipping features, building and maintaining an MCP server is a 2-4 week project that keeps getting deprioritized.

The result: SaaS companies are losing to competitors who ship agent accessibility first. When a user asks Claude or GPT to "manage my project in [Tool X]," and Tool X doesn't have an MCP server but Tool Y does, Tool Y wins the customer.
