We have it, a fresh tool that landed recently in prod. Makes it easier to communicate with the app resources. And it's a standardised way for agents to talk to a remote resource, easier for them to understand what is available and how to use it.

I don't understand the need to make things easier for a robot. Point them at an API and they can figure it out. Can you explain in more detail what is easier?

    MCP apparently reduces probabilistic failures - aka the common fatal flaw of all of these robots (hallucinations, missing stuff in the API doc, etc).

    This makes it a little more interesting to me, knowing those results.

    It definitely underlines what we already know about the specific weaknesses of LLMs replies/results.

      Does it really do that much difference? I mean in the end robots process MCP output the same way they would process API docs.

      I think that was a problem 6 months ago, but GPT 5.6 Sol on xhigh doesn't have those sorts of issues. I don't think it'll last. Things are moving fast.
