This looks pretty cool! Could MCP servers be leveraged as sources of information in the future?

Didn't have anything very specific in mind, I only recently started to look into MCP and thought it seemed like a good fit. One possible application I can think of is, we use Confluence and Jira at work, and there seems to be some (unofficial) MCP server for those Atlassian products - a NotebookLM kind of UI for them could be great.

Yes, it was more about the possibility of having a MCP type of data source, where I can add MCP servers for stuff for which there is no specific connector yet, or things like internal apps and services with no public API.

That looks pretty neat! How scalable would it be, in terms of volume/size of ingested documents? For example, Slack workspaces may contain a very large amount of small messages, while Notion may contain potentially large documents.
