The MCP (Machine Computation Protocol) server is becoming a standard feature for data tools, but a critical distinction exists in its implementation.

Others, however, offer agents ownership over infrastructure, allowing them to provision databases, write data, and persist information beyond a single interaction, thus enabling true autonomous agent capabilities.
