What the article doesn't say (well, there's a lot it doesn't say) is that this protocol was created by Anthropic but is being adopted more widely.

MCP reminds me of a new platform opportunity akin to the Apple App Store.

It's rapidly adopted, with offerings from GitHub, Stripe, Slack, Google Maps, AirTable, etc. Many more non-official integrations are already out there. I expect this will only gain adoption over the coming year.

Yes. The article comes across as a response from an LLM chat. I think that it's OK to write blog posts with AI assistance, and I like the logical and simple writing style that these models output.

But with MCP there's not a whole lot of information out there for LLMs to digest and so perhaps for that reason the article is not particularly insightful.

Thank you HN for bringing the insights!

Author here, good point! I should have mentioned that MCP was created by Anthropic but is seeing wider adoption.

Appreciate the feedback - brb I'll update the post to include this!
