Exactly this. It’s a very effective way to integrate your app into Claude/openai.

I was anti-MCP at one point when it was eating up a substantial amount of context in Claude code. That’s largely been fixed now.

From my perspective, they are a great way to wrap an API for agent consumption. I can see a future where every major commercial or service website (think airline websites) have an MCP your agent can use to check flight status, rebook, or check you in.
