MCP Quietly Became the Default Plug Between AI and Your Apps
The 'universal power outlet' for agents is now everywhere — and that's good news for people who build small personal tools.
MCP — the standard that lets an AI agent plug into your apps and data — has crossed the invisible line: most major tools now ship an MCP connector by default. Calendars, notes, spreadsheets, design apps.
Why you care: every new connector is a thing you can now automate by ASKING. 'Connect my tool to my calendar' stops being a project and becomes a sentence.
Ask Claude: 'what MCP connectors exist for the apps I use?' — the answer is longer every month.
