This was a great read!

I've been fascinated by the fact that companies like Hubspot and Linear were so quick to offer MCP servers for their products. While offering an MCP server lets you offer a cool new experience to users, and being an early 'ChatGPT Connector' is nice from a marketing perspective, it definitely also means you lose control of a lot of the data AND of the user experience. Your product risks becoming a plug-in to Claude or to ChatGPT, rather than an app in itself.

Slack is among the first to clearly push back against this, but I'm sure others will follow soon.

Personal and entity level data sovereignty should be a thing. Isn't this where BYOC is headed?
