Was scrolling YouTube recently and one video tutorial from #Google on #MCP reminded me of something.
Back in the day, I was doing my personal blog, which I eventually abandoned.
And one of my articles from 2024 basically describes #MCP before it was even a thing.
Though this protocol looks more like reinventing the wheel, because a bunch of other tools like #OpenAPI have been around for a longer time and do basically the same.
Still, it lets us control ANY application with AI chats and prompts, which is quite impressive!

At this time, many LLMs are able to extract parameters from a user’s prompt, figure out which function it is supposed to call, make that call, handle the result and return a pretty formatted response to the user.
Given all this hustle around AI, it seems obvious that in the near future each WEB application should have a well-documented, publicly accessible API to integrate itself with different AI Chats.
This API should allow users to do the same as they can manually.
API architectures, such as REST, gRPC, SOAP, are currently being used for communication between software systems.
One of these architectures could potentially evolve and become the de facto standard for interaction between WEB applications and third-party AI Chats.
