Connectors Unplugged: Understanding the Legal Risks of APIs, MCP, and What Happens When They Work Together
Â
As systems move beyond traditional APIs toward more dynamic connector models like MCP, legal teams are being asked to evaluate technologies that don’t behave in predictable, point-to-point ways. When these tools start working together—triggering actions across systems, sharing data, and operating with increasing autonomy—they introduce new layers of legal risk that don’t map cleanly to existing frameworks.
In this session, we’ll break down how APIs and MCP differ, where legacy risks still apply, and where new liability, data governance, and accountability questions are emerging. We’ll also explore what actually happens when these systems interact in practice—and what in-house legal teams should be thinking about now to stay ahead.
