alt Hacker NewsI don't feel that way. Maybe the first examples have all been related to what software people do, but I think an MCP for a travel site would be a game changer.
There are so many things I want to tell a travel site that just doesn't fit into filters, so then end up spending more time searching all kinds of permutations.
These could be done with an MCP-augmented agent.

People said similar things about smart contracts, yet here we are, with them being rather niche. I do agree that once the Alexa's and Siri's are LLM powered with MCP (or similar) support, these kinds of use cases will become more valuable and I do feel it will happen, and gain widespread use eventually. I just wonder how much other software it will actually replace in reality vs how much of it is hype.
There is no saying that they will expose more functionality through the MCP API than their web site. I imagine the API will be more limited.
