It's not really MCP that is 'this', MCP is just the glue that makes the NLP as frontend easy to conceptualize in terms of application. Everyone is getting excited because it's now relatively obvious how you can go from talking to LLM -> large orchestration happening, even though you could do this already with langchain or whatever.

MCP is basically just a protocol you can bring into the context window, do your LLM coding magic, then start up your MCP server and test your tool chain for your NLP as frontend stuff. The only difference is now it's not deterministic so stuff will get randomly fucked up.
