Think of MCP servers as the hallway in your house.

The rooms are your tools — Notion, Gmail, Stripe, Shopify. They all exist. They all do their job. But without a hallway, you're climbing through windows to get from one to the other.

MCP servers are the connection. And the part most people don't realize: you're not building the hallway yourself. You're clicking a button and accepting the connection.

That's it. The scary technical work is already done.
