INSIGHT

MCP Gives AI Practical Reach

  • MCP lets AI assistants connect to many services so a single generalist can act across apps.
  • Kent argues this gives Jarvis 'hands' to perform real-world and software tasks without bespoke integrations.
ADVICE

Build Quality MCP Servers Now

  • Teach and build quality MCP servers now because they will be the primary way services expose functionality to AI clients.
  • Focus on usable, well-authenticated servers to accelerate ecosystem adoption.
INSIGHT

Jarvis Could Replace Browsers

  • Kent expects a Jarvis client to replace the browser for many tasks, shifting developer focus from browser UIs to MCP servers.
  • He predicts websites will be supplanted by dynamic MCP endpoints that expose tools and prompts.
