My thought too when I read TFA about MCP as a universal interface, but I suppose one can distinguish between interface and automated discovery/usage. The MCP exposed API is there for anyone/anything to use, as long as you are able to understand how it works - by reading the natural language description of the exposed methods and their JSON input schemas. You could read this yourself and then use these methods in any way you choose. Where LLMs come in is that they understand natural language, so in the case where the MCP client is an LLM, then there is automatic discovery and integration - you don't need to grok the MCP interface and integrate it into your application, but instead the LLM can automatically use it based on the interface description.
