Have you used MCP, at the protocol level?
replyWAP was dumb and failed because it oversimplified the web, and phones evolved to be real computers.
MCP is more sophisticated than typical APIs. It adds organization, policy, and code vs data (prompts) partitioning.
IMO it’s more likely that non-LLM apps will start using MCP than it is for MCP to go the way of WAP.
I'm old enough to get this reference! Spent years writing WAP... it was really great at the time.
replyIt blew my mind as a kid
replyI was maybe 10/11 when the Nokia 3330 came out, and being able to use the internet while not in front of a computer just felt like magic
Those were the days of the dotcom era when finding the next restaurant with your Nokia + WAP was THE killer use case.
