The MCP Layer: Business vs Vendor Side?

Most AI connectors are built by each vendor, for each tool, a reverse proxy that fronts the tool to your AI. A business-specific MCP server flips the direction: one layer on your side that represents your AI to all your systems, speaks your operations instead of raw CRUD, enforces your rules, and reaches the half of your stack no connector will ever cover.
