Regardless of how good a model gets, it can't do much if it doesn't have access to deterministic tools and information about the state of the world. And that's before you take into account security: you can't have a model running arbitrary requests against production, that's psychotic.
I don't have a high opinion of MCP and the hype it's generating is ridicolous, but the problem it supposedly solves is real. If it can work as an excuse to have providers expose an API for their functionality like the article hopes, that's exciting for developers.
- ramoz 1y ago> Regardless of how good a model gets I don't think this is true. My Claude Code can: - open a browser, debug a ui, or navigate to any website - write a script to interact with any type of accessible api All without MCP. Within a year I expect there to be legitimate "computer use" agents. I expect agent sdks to take over llm apis as defacto abstractions for models, and MCP will have limited use isolated to certain platforms - but with that caveat that an MCP-equipped agent performs worse than a native computer-use agent.
- anon7000 1y ago> open a browser, debug a ui, or navigate to any website I mean, that’s just saying the same thing — at the end of the day, there’s are underlying deterministic systems that it uses
- ramoz 1y agoYes my response was poorly oriented the parent comment
- codybontecou 1y agoThey are kind of the same thing... These are just tools Anthropic provides for you. Just like the tools a non-Anthropic service provides through their MCP server. A community-led effort of tool creation via MCP will surely be faster and more powerful than waiting for in-house implementations.
