The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is being presented as a new method for managing SaaS feature rollouts, moving beyond simple data querying to runtime application orchestration. This protocol allows AI coding agents, such as Claude Code or Cursor+, to trigger in-app announcements and onboarding guides without directly generating frontend code, thus avoiding issues like bundle bloat and UI inconsistencies. MCP operates using deterministic JSON rules, where an agent communicates with a remote server via OAuth 2.1 PKCE S256 to specify trigger conditions and content, which are then evaluated locally by a client-side SDK.
