API thought leader Kevin Swiber and Pronovix CEO Kristof Van Tomme join the podcast to explore the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the emerging governance challenges it presents to API strategy. We discuss the need to balance driving business value and opportunity against mitigating the security risks associated with rapid MCP adoption, noting the pressure this technology puts on enterprises to safely enable its use. MCP and Large Language Models (LLMs) are changing paradigms from simple access control (previously focused on preventing access to the wrong information) to managing and bridging context between different systems, such as a workflow for example between a corporate context and a remote context.
