All influencer content is groan-inducing, but the idea behind MCP is pretty huge: it's the ability to link LLM agent loops into basically arbitrary APIs. It would be weird if it wasn't attracting a lot of attention.
Now if there is a good way to deal with authentication and authorization piece without agents gone wild that would excite me as a dev a lot more at this point.
I think as a developer, as opposed to an IT integrator or something like that, you should be the most excited about this situation.
