Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?

4•sukit•1h ago
I’ve been following MCP since it first came out. It got a lot of attention early on, but I haven’t come across many people using it in production. I may simply have missed them.

If you’re using MCP in production, what are you using it for? What advantages have you found over a normal API or direct tool integration or just CLI?

We have it, a fresh tool that landed recently in prod. Makes it easier to communicate with the app resources. And it's a standardised way for agents to talk to a remote resource, easier for them to understand what is available and how to use it.
