MCP & the Agent Protocol
The Model Context Protocol is replacing REST as the standard for AI-to-tool communication. We built the registry, authored the trust framework, and published 21+ MCP servers. This is what we know.

What MCP Is and Why It Matters
The Model Context Protocol explained for technical leaders, what it does, how it works, and why it's becoming the standard for connecting AI agents to enterprise tools.
4BConnecting Agents to Enterprise Tools
The practical reality of integrating AI agents with CRMs, productivity suites, databases, and APIs: what works, what breaks, and the MCP server pattern that simplifies it.
4CMCP Security & Trust
The security gap in AI agent tooling, why MCP servers are an attack surface, what the MCP Trust Framework solves, and how enterprises can deploy agent tools safely.
4DBuilding vs. Buying Integrations
A decision framework for technical leaders, when to build custom MCP servers, when to use open source, and how to evaluate the options without getting locked in.
4EThe Open-Source Advantage
Why open-source AI infrastructure beats vendor lock-in, the Windsurf lesson, the self-hosting option, and the open standards that keep you in control.
5EOpen Source as Trust
Why NimbleBrain open-sources its tools: and why open source is the only credible trust model for AI infrastructure in the enterprise.
What we believe about this
MCP Apps: How We'll Build Software in the AI Era
Applications will be composed from MCP servers, not coded from scratch. The traditional stack is being replaced by a composition layer that wires tools together through an AI runtime. Upjack proves it.
Thesis #8Open Source Is the Only Trust Model for AI Infrastructure
Proprietary AI infrastructure is a liability. The Windsurf incident proved it. The only safe infrastructure is inspectable, forkable, self-hostable. NimbleBrain open-sources everything.
Thesis #1REST Is Dead. MCP Is the Application Protocol.
Request-response APIs are being replaced by persistent tool connections. We built 21+ MCP servers and a registry, here's why we stopped building REST APIs.
