The underappreciated killer use case for building an MCP server is when you explicitly do NOT want AI inside your product. You avoid the nightmare of AI billing, token economics, and rate limits, while still letting users invoke your app's capabilities through their own AI agents where they control cost. It's a rare everyone-wins scenario: the app stays simple, the user keeps control, and capability is exposed.
