I dont think people realize how important this is.

If one of the vendors manages to get their protocol to become the target platform (eg oai and app sdk), that is essentially their vendor lock in to become the next iOS/Android.

Private API’s or EEE strategies are gonna be something to keep an eye for and i wish regulators would step in to prevent them before its too late.

How is it any better if instead of _one_ vendor, _two_ vendors push an immature version of a standards extension that mainly caters to their needs and give it the official stamp of approval under the MCP umbrella?

This is so backwards it's scary.

Having a chatbot that drives websites inside of it is such an attempted monopolist play. Having a system agent that can interact with apps via API without being connected to the app is the pattern that's both elegant and preserves freedom.

I don't see how this is a step down from existing web applications. Should companies building web applications not be opinionated about their user interfaces? When I look at Notion, I should just get any view of the data inside it, regardless of whether it's the same view as my coworker gets? How is this preferable?

Does this prevent anyone from doing that?
