A developer uses Claude or Cursor to write a new authentication module. The AI generates clean, functional code. What it doesn&#8217;t know is that this module has produced three P1 defects in the last two sprints, that the session timeout requirement changed last week, and that the regression suite has a known gap in concurrent session handling.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Model Context Protocol &#8211; Claude MCP, as most QA teams have started calling it &#8211; is the standard that closes this gap.
