MCPs are very exciting. They now support IFrames (MCP Apps) as well.
Now that the models are getting better, you can trust them to book barber appointments, order groceries, manage your calendar, etc etc. It's significantly lazier to ask an agent to do something than manually doing it. Especially with voice to text.
I'm predicting that chat bots will auto-discover MCPs from trusted websites and make life much easier.
I agree. The natural next step is to have an MCP for a global directory of MCPs that an agent can search to complete jobs.
The web_search tool and MCP discovery is essentially a global directory.
Now when I ask ChatGPT for a product, it does a web_search tool call and then gives me a link to a webshop product page. But next step would be automatically using the MCP of that webshop to embed checkout inside chat.
afaik Claude already has a "discovery" tool for official Claude connectors, that's why a lot of companies are rushing to get on the marketplaces. I know that bc I'm the founder of https://manufact.com and we helped a ton of companies with that.
