Are MCP apps actually getting used? A dev rethinks SaaS form factors
The_Gluxer · reddit · 2026-09-19
A developer building a new SaaS asks why MCP apps — apps living inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor desktop clients — see so little traction and discussion.
He observes that people increasingly use these AI clients as their working harness, yet few talk about MCP apps inside them, making him wonder if his product should ship as an MCP app instead of a standalone SaaS UI.
His hesitation is adoption: he's looking for evidence that anyone uses MCP apps day to day, and for what.
