LLMs with tools*
MCP isn’t inherently special. A Claude Code with Bash() tool can do nearly anything a MCP server will give you - much more efficiently.
Computer Use agents are here and are only going to get better.
The conversation shouldn’t be about LLMs any longer. Providers will be providing agents.
correct and companies will be exposing their data via mcp instead of standard rest apis.
That makes no sense. MCP at best is a protocol transpilation at runtime. It is not redefining things like DB drivers or connections. And I did not say rest apis enable agents. Computer use tooling does. APIs and everything else that already exists.
MCP is more like graphql. Not a new network paradigm.
The design of MCP right now is not very optimal esp when you can equip an agent with one tool vs 5-20 that bloat it's reasoning every prompt.
why would you make an agent click around a web browser like a human when it could self discover the api and call it directly?
