MCP has become the standard protocol for AI-to-tool communication, with adoption from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind and the firms that build MCP infrastructure now will become the network nodes others route through, compounding their advantage over time.

Private markets deal flow is structurally fragmented — terms shared over WhatsApp, availability tracked in Excel, and critical information living in message histories rather than any centralised system, meaning deals are routinely missed simply because the right person did not have the right information at the right moment. AI agents paired with structured, machine-readable deal infrastructure offer a way to close that gap — and that is precisely what EVIDENT is building.

MCP operates through three interconnected layers — host, client, and server — enabling AI to query live data and trigger real-time actions through a standardised protocol. The deeper opportunity, especially in private markets, is building proprietary MCP servers that give AI governed, controlled access to internal systems rather than generic public tools.

Most firms use AI as a text tool. Few have asked what it takes for AI to actually reach their systems, data, and deal flow and even fewer have built the infrastructure to make that possible. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that changes this, and the financial services industry is only beginning to engage with what it means to build on it.
