The next step would be Microsoft attempting to make their registry the de facto choice for developers and extending with Windows-specific verbs.
Then, by controlling what's considered "secure", they can marginalize competitors.
For example how would you MCP Google Ads rpc API https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v... so that LLM and user will understand that? Seems like we can't escape complexity.
I’m convinced that the only reason why MCP became a thing is because newcomers weren’t that familiar with OpenAPI and other existing standards, and because a protocol that is somehow tied to AI (even though it’s not, as this article shows) generates a lot of hype these days.
There’s absolutely nothing novel about MCP.
It is dependent on agents actually creating new demand for APIs and MCP being successful as a way to expose them.

But you’re right, it does kind of miss the point.
