MCP is essentially just a convention for APIs that standardizes the concept of a “resource”. It spares the LLM a lot of work figuring out what the “things” are in a problem domain, and how various endpoints relate to those “things”.
With authentication and on mobile?
I agree that on desktop it's not particularly relevant. Or through openclaw.
But for most people who use it through mobile, MCP solves some problems.
