Why this topic matters
OpenAI's ChatGPT Store is becoming the new distribution channel for products. To get listed, you need two layers: a Web UI component and an MCP server that lets ChatGPT call data tools. PMs and engineers who can turn an existing API into a hosted MCP server (low/no-code) can prototype store-ready apps fast, validate demand, and ship products to take advantage of this emerging opportunity.
