So this is thoughtful - but - MCP isn't actually a very good solution for corporate automation either.

Corporate automations face the same problems human driven agents use:

+ The 'tool' section of the chat is not the right place, and it's too limiting + The very concept of MCP server introduces a brittle layer - for what purpose?

CLI for local calls, REST for remote.

That's it.

We build security around that the same way we would otherwise.

Now -> 'better / standard' json type calling for both of those!

Sure! 'Agent Calling API' or something. Yes.

'Agentic Identity Standard'? Yes to that as well.

But MCP was 'the right solution for a period in LLMs that has been superceded.

If MCP did not exist today - we would not invent it. That's the strongest argument I think.
