Steinberger: Converting MCP tools to CLIs scales better than native integrations
“If you need to, you can use MCPs on the fly. You don't have to restart, unlike, unlike Codex or Cloud Code, where you actually have to restart the whole thing. I think it's way more elegant, and also scales way better.”

Masad: Anthropic's Model Context Protocol won't solve autonomous agent-to-agent coordination
“I know a lot of people think of MCP as such an agent to agent tool, but actually MCP is a more traditional RPC protocol. So it's not really going to solve this.”
Insight
Srinivas: Browser-native agents offer superior reliability over MCP-only approaches
“That's the key advantage of the browser that you do not have if you commit entirely to just the MCP vision. If you commit entirely to the MCP vision, you require these third-party MCP servers to work reliably. Ah, the data that they send you, ah, on, with the …”

Srinivas: Mobile apps will resist adopting MCP servers for AI
“Expecting every mobile app to have MCP servers and then, like, connecting all their data to your thing, It's not going to be that straightforward. Like, nobody wants to be disintermediated by an AI that quickly.”

Chou: Ploy will use a CLI rather than MCP for agent integration
“I think we're going to do a CLI with skills. So an MCP would be really good if we had more constrained sort of things. However, I think with the number of things that you can do employ, I think the CLI is going to be the way we do it.”

Franceschi: Non-Technical Teams Want Virtual Coworkers, Not Standalone Chatbots
“Because I think what people really want is in my opinion, is really a way of saying, okay, this is actually a virtual employee almost that has, you know, it's on Slack. It has an email. I can actually invite it to me. You can join a meeting, take notes. And yo…”

Tan: Model Context Protocol ecosystem will mature and work well in 6-9 months
“I'm sure I will stop looking at it at some point in the next couple months, and then magically in like six to nine months when I'm not watching, it's actually going to work really, really well.”

Legora leans heavily into Model Context Protocol for AI agent tool usage
“MCP and the way that you can scale the tool usage of these agents is something that I'm super, you know, keen on and that we're leaning very heavily into because a lot of firms have different needs in terms of how they want to adopt the tools to solve for thei…”

Blomfield: YC startup Den is building a 'Cursor for knowledge work'
“There's a company in the current batch called Den, basically building cursor for knowledge work. That's trying to chain together all of these different MCP servers, which basically a way to call tools for agents.”
