MCP-native
Describes a product whose data and actions are reachable directly from an AI assistant over MCP, rather than only through its own web dashboard. Many tools now offer an MCP server, so what matters is how writes are controlled, what each caller can see, and whether agent actions are audited. Why it matters: It decides whether cost data reaches engineers where they work or waits for someone to open a dashboard.
