I don't know how that is solved by MCP? How would the LLM possibly know where to search? Just making an API (or series of APIs) to slack/jira/airtable available doesn't magically surface the context, or the right search incantation to reveal it. The LLM still has to figure out which tool to search within, what search terms/tools are the right ones to choose, etc. If there are a million documents in your set of data providers and only 1000 fit into the context of the LLM, that filter happens somewhere.
This idea that if you don't know where the data is, magically the LLM will, is very confusing to me.
