MCP is not just a rest api its a layer on top
A layer than honestly doesn't do much, as I understand it. What does MCP as a protocol actually solve? Is it more than a bandwagon?
Advantages over our normal API: - Much easier to provide LLM-specific explanations and descriptions to all of the tools and parameters - None of our clients know what a CLI is - We re-use our MCP for our own platform's agent which gives it a neatly defined list - It handles the full OAuth flow in the application
I'll admit though it is VERY similar to a REST API, and I could see them merging at some point.

My company uses MCP in production to connect different AI products together that were developed by different teams. It makes the connections very easy, where a REST interface often has quirks and features that you have to understand.
Incredibly useful for our SaaS. We are a niche CRM and it's very useful for our non-technical users to be able to connect our platform's data to Claude/Copilot which they then combine with other MCPs.

We 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…
All the others are cringe ad bots and the gullible/liars plugging MCP

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?
360°? That's weak. The real experts have a 720° FoV with multiverse time travel.
