What The Heck is MCP? – Summit NA 2026 Premier Spotlight Presentation

Everyone is talking about MCP, but not everyone knows what it is, and that’s ok!

We unpacked what an MCP (model context protocol) actually does and why it matters. Think of it as your secure bridge between AI tools and your business systems. An MCP gives controlled access to data and functionality, so your AI can do things safely—without handing over the keys to your vendors.

We talked about why having your own MCP Server gives you control, the pros and cons of every app having its own MCP, and how it helps your AI talk to all your systems (not just one). The goal: make AI informed and powerful, but keep you in charge of your company’s data and actions. You'll also see how eOne Solutions is helping organizations connect data across systems with PopdockAI, making it easier to prepare for an AI-enabled future.
