Why every app will need an MCP server as BYO agents become the default
tristanbob · x · 2026-10-25
The author argues that BYO (bring-your-own) agents will become the de facto pattern for accessing services: users talk to a personal agent connected to everything. This implies every app needs an agent connector (i.e., an MCP server).
The irony he highlights: such connectors cost almost nothing to build, yet unlock nearly infinite use cases — making them an extremely high-leverage interface investment for any app.
