> Regardless of how good a model gets

I don't think this is true.

My Claude Code can:

- open a browser, debug a ui, or navigate to any website

- write a script to interact with any type of accessible api

All without MCP.

Within a year I expect there to be legitimate "computer use" agents. I expect agent sdks to take over llm apis as defacto abstractions for models, and MCP will have limited use isolated to certain platforms - but with that caveat that an MCP-equipped agent performs worse than a native computer-use agent.



They are kind of the same thing...

These are just tools Anthropic provides for you. Just like the tools a non-Anthropic service provides through their MCP server.

A community-led effort of tool creation via MCP will surely be faster and more powerful than waiting for in-house implementations.

I mean, that’s just saying the same thing — at the end of the day, there’s are underlying deterministic systems that it uses


Yes my response was poorly oriented the parent comment
