MCP360 vs Native APIs
Why teams use MCP360 instead of wiring every AI client to raw vendor APIs.
Calling Meta, Google, Salesforce, or Stripe APIs directly from each AI client means rebuilding OAuth, token refresh, schema validation, and tenant isolation per integration. MCP360 centralizes those concerns so any MCP-compatible client shares one governed tool catalog.
| Feature | MCP360 | Direct vendor APIs |
|---|---|---|
| Integration effort | One MCP endpoint per service | Per-vendor SDK per client |
| Auth handling | Managed OAuth + encryption | You implement token storage |
| Multi-client support | 200+ MCP clients | Custom build per client |
| Safety controls | Approvals, limits, audit logs | Custom middleware required |
| Time to first query | Minutes with API key | Weeks of engineering |
