Your project? What project? I don't know about it.
Please don't bother to clarify it; better think of my question as a hint for you. :-)

MVC is a design pattern to create a web application.
WebAPI is similar to the MVC (in terms of Controllers, Models, Routes etc), you can expose it to any device i.e Android, iOS, WP by consuming it.

So the short answer would be: If you want your service to be consumed on web-based project, you can certainly think of an MVC.
