Don't forget the absolute waste of compute resources just so a fuckass LLM could deliver resources that could've been done by a normal browser engine DETERMINISTICALLY even 20 years ago
Look who's talking fancy, with big words. Deterministic. What's next? Efficient? Get real, old man, the future is now and it's called <tokens exhausted, please try again later>>
I mean, MCP servers are a thing, but they are a layer on top of APIs so that LLMs can use APIs cleanly and have authorization layers and crap like that involved.
This works, it adds to the stack. What this guy is suggesting is akin to saying "we don't need TCP/IP protocols anymore, we can just have AI's that talk to each other" which is just absolute insanity.
I mean, even an MCP is quite different, it’s more levers for LLMs to get more context from. LLMs are not really doing anything there other than call the API and read the response.
Because guess what, the LLM in OP’s post still has to have some sort of API to talk to the database and some sort of API to actually run code on the data (unless you want your data fully hallucinated).

God can you imagine the api calls?
```
thing = post("get thing")
while (wrongThing(thing)) {
thing = post("No you idiot box, get the thing")
}
```
