The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is being presented as a new method for managing SaaS feature rollouts, moving beyond its typical use for LLMs to access local files or query SQL databases. Instead, MCP can be used for runtime application orchestration, allowing AI coding agents to directly trigger in-app announcements and onboarding guides without generating ad-hoc UI code. This approach aims to prevent issues like bundle bloat, CSS inconsistencies, and layout breaks by using deterministic JSON rules, with a remote server facilitating the process and a lightweight client-side SDK evaluating these rules.
