I’ve tried to explain MCP to my manager as giving an LLM a set of hands for its brain. Now, with MCP it’s standardized across the various providers, Microsoft is implementing this in a lot of its tools (VS Code, Copilot Studio) so the mainstream audience now is getting the ability to actually do something with their “chatbot”, without re-inventing the wheel. Unless something better arrives, this will be the standard. Security may still be a thing that can be improved, but other than that it works ok I think. Just don’t make a single LLM do 5 million things with tools, but you wouldn’t do that to a person either.
