Your database knows the answer. Your AI doesn't. Here's why.

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

Every day, someone on your team asks a question your database could answer in 0.2 seconds. Instead, it takes 3 days. Not because the data isn't there. Because the path from question to answer goes through too many people. → PM asks → engineer gets tagged → engineer opens a SQL client → query gets written → results get pasted into Slack → meeting gets scheduled to discuss them The data was never the bottleneck. The pipeline was. MCP (Model Context Protocol) cuts the pipeline out entirely. You connect your database directly to your AI model. Questions become queries.
