| The thing about MCP is people can "do AI" without any AI.

| That makes it enormously attractive for people who want to be

| it.
|
| Especially since you dont have to actually _do anything_
| useful, just write a wrapper around something that already
| exists.
|
| Wow! Now youre part of the AI hype cycle!
|
| Maybe you too (like windsurf) can be bought for billions of
| dollars.
|
| So... lots of people.

| presence became even more crucial than it seemed in the 90s.

|
| This is especially true for conventional SaaS that historically
| required one or more developers to read and internalize
| documentation for a service's API in order to make any use of
| it.
|
| What are the odds that this developer fully understands how to
| squeeze every bit of value of out this expensive SaaS product,
| for which the company is paying monthly/yearly?
|
| What if that developer jumps ship? Or the provider releases a
| major version bump with a significantly different API, but
| features that the business absolutely needs to integrate in
| order to stay ahead?
|
| As much as it might seem hyped up at the moment, MPC and agent-
| based tool calling paired with CoT can and will make things
| orders of magnitude more efficient.
|
| No business in its right mind will accept anything less than
| the total integration of MCP and agents across their entire
| stack by the end of this year.
