MCP Is Not an AI Protocol. It Is a Governance Layer.

MCP is classified as an AI integration protocol. It is actually a governance primitive — the stable interface layer that architecture fitness functions have been missing for years.

...Architecture fitness functions that break the moment a team changes an internal implementation — making governance brittle, ignored, and eventually abandoned Key outcome: A structured model that uses MCP servers...
