Who uses this?
noodletheworld•9mo ago
The thing about MCP is people can “do AI” without any AI.

That makes it enormously attractive for people who want to be part of the AI hype cycle but not devote much actual effort to it.

Especially since you dont have to actually do anything useful, just write a wrapper around something that already exists.

Wow! Now youre part of the AI hype cycle!

Maybe you too (like windsurf) can be bought for billions of dollars.

So… lots of people.

moron4hire•9mo ago
That's literally 99% of AI startups, except they're just plugged into one particular vendor's API.
falcor84•9mo ago
I can't help but feel that MCP and AI in general are where the web was in the late 90s. People and companies built silly websites that sometimes weren't more than just digital billboards, and things were definitely a bit overhyped (especially on the investment side), but if anything, they were underhyped in terms of how having an effective digital presence became even more crucial than it seemed in the 90s.

As just one example, SaaS businesses are beginning to use this to reduce the barrier to entry for their users, which is always the first step to the ultimate goal: a programmatic integration.

This is especially true for conventional SaaS that historically required one or more developers to read and internalize documentation for a service's API in order to make any use of it.

What are the odds that this developer fully understands how to squeeze every bit of value of out this expensive SaaS product, for which the company is paying monthly/yearly?

What if that developer jumps ship? Or the provider releases a major version bump with a significantly different API, but features that the business absolutely needs to integrate in order to stay ahead?

As much as it might seem hyped up at the moment, MPC and agent-based tool calling paired with CoT can and will make things orders of magnitude more efficient.

No business in its right mind will accept anything less than the total integration of MCP and agents across their entire stack by the end of this year.

It turns out you can, in fact, run Python on Lambda. Neat.
lgas•9mo ago
Python is a specifically supported language, but you can run any language you want using a custom runtime.

this is awesome!

Great work Simba!
mchusma•9mo ago
Anyone know of a way to just have a remote mcp server on top of a rest API? I want to do something simple to see if my users will care, but can’t find anything trivial (have public API, just want to try and wrap it in mcp for low cost). Tried stainless but it didn’t really do that (seemed to just generate boilerplate for me to install).
