I get the debate in this thread but this is IMHO the detail that matters:
"Many of these companies don't even have an external API! And yet, they're all building MCP servers."
Whether or not MCP is a temporary means to an end or a more permanent standard is kind of missing the point that the overall callable API surface is expanding rapidly. How it's called by the agent is an implementation detail.
