It will probably never work. Companies have spend probably the last decade(s?) closing everything on Internet: * no more RSS feed * paywall * the need to have an "app" to access a service * killing open protocols

And all of the sudden, everyone will expose their data through simple API calls ?

Indeed I think a lot of companies will hate the idea of losing their analytics and app mediated control over their users.

I see it working in a B2B context where customers demand that their knowledge management systems (ticketing, docs, etc...) have an MCP interface.

I think it is a huge opportunity to dethrone established players that don't want to open up that way. Users will want it, and whoever gives it to them, wins.
You either do it, or someone wraps you with one using browser_use or similar.
