Why the desire to reinvent the wheel every time? Agents can do it accurately, but you have to wait for them to figure it out every time, and waste tokens on non-differentiated work

The agents are writing the mcps, so they can figure out those http and ftp calls. MCP makes it so they dont have to every time they want to do something.

I wouldnt hire a new person to read a manual and then make a bespoke json to call an http server, every single time i want to make a call, and thats not a knock on the person's intelligence. Its just a waste of time doing the same work over and over again. I want the results of calling the API, not to spend all my time figuring out how to call the API

It’s simply about making standard, centralized plugins available. Right now Claude benefits from a “link GitHub Connector” button with a clear manifest of actions.

Obviously if the self-modifying, Clawd-native development thing catches on, any old API will work. (Preferably documented but that’s not a hard requirement.)

For now though, Anthropic doesn’t host a clawd for you, so there isn’t yet a good way for it to persist customs integrations.
