alt Hacker NewsMCP is a higher layer than your existing API.
It’s like saying APIs are dead because you can just use HTTP. They’re not the same thing, though of course you can hand-roll the higher layer in the lower one. It’s just more work, less standard, less valuable.
I don’t think models will ever prefer a low level API to a decorated index of API features and how to use them, same way developers will never prefer a list of HTTP endpoints and bespoke headers + query strings + POST bodies over a structured API.
Right; isn't this already captured by an openapi spec with RBACs? Plus the benefit that your ai agent can keep using all the pre-AI tools that already interface with those specs. What is MCP bringing that an openapi spec doesn't?
