The Future of MCPs


MCPs—Model Context Protocols—are set to transform AI from passive chatbots into powerful, action-taking agents. But the real story isn’t what MCPs enable—it’s who controls them.

Given that MCP clients hold all the power, it’s easy to see how MCPs will end up governed by a framework resembling a combination of the two dominant monopolies of the last two decades: search and mobile app stores. Just as Apple and Google shaped the mobile ecosystem by determining which apps were featured, preinstalled, or approved at all, LLM clients will decide which MCP servers get surfaced, promoted, or even allowed. Imagine a Travel Planner Chat Client that integrates seamlessly with airlines, hotel chains, and tour operators, offering users a complete trip-planning experience inside a single conversational flow.
