I'm just baffled no software vendor has already come up with a subscription to access the API via MCP.
I mean obviously paid API access is nothing new, but "paid MCP access for our entreprise users" is surely on the pipeline everywhere, after which the openness will die down.
Optionality will kill adoption, and these things are absolutely things you HAVE to be able to play with to discover the value (because it’s a new and very weird kind of tool that doesn’t work like existing tools)
Heck, if AIs are at some point given enough autonomy to simply be given a task and a budget, there'll be efforts to try to trick AIs into thinking paying is the best way to get their work done! Ads (and scams) for AIs to fall for!
We're already there, just take a look at the people spending $500 a day on Claude Code.
