correct and companies will be exposing their data via mcp instead of standard rest apis.

That makes no sense. MCP at best is a protocol transpilation at runtime. It is not redefining things like DB drivers or connections. And I did not say rest apis enable agents. Computer use tooling does. APIs and everything else that already exists.

MCP is more like graphql. Not a new network paradigm.

The design of MCP right now is not very optimal esp when you can equip an agent with one tool vs 5-20 that bloat it's reasoning every prompt.

why would you make an agent click around a web browser like a human when it could self discover the api and call it directly?

		self discovery via primitives is what works well today. I never discouraged that, only discouraged MCP sensationalism. However, an agent that can see the screen and immediately click through whatever desired UI modality is immensely more efficient than swimming through protocols. There is at least one frontier lab who has prepared enough foresight that agents running on VDI infrastructure is a major coming wave.
