Why it matters
MCP is becoming the default bridge between LLMs and real infrastructure. Watching a database vendor's official MCP server work — and break — live tells you how production-ready agent-to-data tooling is.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Every natural-language query to a database rides an LLM round trip — schema context in, results back as tokens. MCP server design choices directly set how expensive 'talk to your data' gets at scale.
