#13Who uses this?
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.…
That's literally 99% of AI startups, except they're just plugged into one particular vendor's API.

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.

#15Anyone 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).

#17It turns out you can, in fact, run Python on Lambda. Neat.
Python is a specifically supported language, but you can run any language you want using a custom runtime.
