Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?

Re: Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?
#212We use MCP in production since March 26 for user-facing endurance sports analytics and planning that integrates directly with the MCP host, in this case the chat interfaces of ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Perplexity.ai, Mistral, you name it. All of those let users add either custom MCP servers, which users can do with a simple explanation. To connect Claude for example: https://www.tredict.com/faq/connect-claude-web-with-t…
This. We also thought MCP was useless, but now the workflows by ChatGPT and Claude are so good; it's as good as installing an app from the App Store. We launched MCP for our SaaS and immediately found users using it. API and MCP all are just buzzwords for customers. What they care about is whether they can get tasks done in our SaaS using Claude or ChatGPT. If that happens, it's a success.

People say that with every single model release, and every single time they're wrong. I bet you anything that it's no different this time than the last dozen times.
i'm burning 500m tokens a day "writing code" for 83 days straight. one of those projects i'm building integrates netbox, stripe, quickbooks, mercury and deel all together via api. i wrote zero lines of code and read zero api docs. it does exactly what i want and gives me a 360 degree view of every aspect of my multi million dollar arr biz. how about you?
Can I hear more?
I suspect you’re being downvoted because 500m a day (for that many days) is a bit much,
but there’s definitely plausibility, here.
If we all can’t hear more here, can I hear more by being your Executive Assistant?

This (points up)! I've read many comments about how good CLIs are, and they are right. But for developers. For non-tech people, installing the CLI is a hurdle: it involves having the right dependencies installed, controlling how you handle secrets (like API keys), and handling updates (ie. npx with a private registry). But for internal tools, once you create an MCP with OAuth, the installation (in Claude) is straight…
>implementing MCP auth in an MCP server still isn't very streamlined. That's why services like https://zapier.com/mcp provide still a ton of value, because it helps non technical folks have the MCP server ready to run.
