MCP is eating the world

It should be added that the company where the blog is hosted makes MCP tools. So a post from a company making MCP tools that MCP is the new Messiah isn't exactly earth shaking.

They need a better PR department. When I read "MCP is eating the world" I took it as, "this is a bad thing." Which, based on the last blog post I read from a knowledgeable person[0], it is.

And the more I read this article, I feel like it still is. "The models finally got good enough" is followed by:

> Of course, models and agents are still far from perfect—the better models are pretty slow, context sizes are still limited, and performance degrades when more and more context is present.

> What’s important is that the models are good enough—once models cross that threshold, the overhead of integrating tool use drops dramatically. MCP just showed up right on time.

That's like saying we invented worker ants just in time to help an insane queen.

I searched the article for the word "secure" or "security" and quit reading when I couldn't find it.

It's a riff on this famous article by Marc Andreessen that was published in the Wall Street Journal in 2011.[1]

AI use is not even saturated yet. I would not expect MCP to be eating anything. It might just be a snack for a select few at this point.
