Dutch bootstrapper who builds and runs his internet startups alone
Their wordsOne of the repeated misconceptions I see is that people think I mean people will ask AI agents to build software, but I don't, their AI agents will solve their problems by building software on the fly With that a market springs up of software/data/etc for AI agents to pay for and connect to (like with MCP/APIs)

Their wordsif your customers are interacting with your service through an agent, it's so much more efficient to just give them a regular mcp server they can use.

Their wordsWe as humans don't do our jobs via MCPS and APIs. Like we use a computer and we click on pixels and we kind of type things in input boxes. And it's very important that your bot has those baseline capabilities as well.

Their wordsAs AI assistants become a natural part of our daily workflows, WebMCP could become the standard way websites communicate with them, much like REST APIs did for traditional applications.

Their wordsSo I'm looking at this like guys the fundamentals of this isn't like everything is going to change because of MCP. What the hell? A whole conference guys? This is just API design.

Their wordsI don't think there's the future where we're going from tool to tool and reinventing that over and over. All the hours spent just like screwing in our intent the correct way is going to become just a briefcase you carry from one tool to the other.

Design Director for the Shop app at Shopify
Their wordsBut all of that data then has an MCP hooked up to it that as I'm looking to make decisions as a product leader, I can just ask my agent and it will query and find all of these previous decisions, we've actually worked on that before. Here's where it failed. And so making as much internal decision making legible feels critically critically important.

Their wordsAnd that seems like the end state. The end state is that agents will not need any of our accommodations. They do not need any on-ramp.

Their wordsMCPs are they're not going anywhere. Anyone who says an MCP is dead is like, that's hype. Like that's crazy. But, they're going to change quite a bit and we're going to see a lot more companies leaning more and towards better semantic APIs and CLIs than they will an MCP

Their wordsthe context window, the window that the AI can hold and think gets filled up very quickly with an MCP.

Founded PSPDFKit in 2011 and ran it for a decade
Their wordsI think the main beauty is, is that models are really good at calling Unix commands. So if you just add another CLI, that's just another Unix command in the end. And MCP is… That has to be added in training. That's not a very natural thing for the model. It requires a very specific syntax. And the biggest thing, it's not composable.

Their wordsThe reason I think MCP may be a one-year wonder is the stratospheric growth of coding agents. It appears that the best possible tool for any situation is Bash—if your agent can run arbitrary shell commands, it can do anything that can be done by typing commands into a terminal.

Their wordsEven removed my last MCP, since Claude sometimes would go off spinning up Playwright unasked when it could simply read the code - which is faster and pollutes the context less.
