The text discusses the future of Multi-Channel Protocols (MCP) in the context of Web 4.0 and AI agents, highlighting both its potential and current shortcomings. It emphasizes that while MCP is gaining traction as a superior method for building AI agents, it remains immature, leading to inconsistent experiences due to rapid market adoption. Key challenges such as security, cost management, backward compatibility, and efficient orchestration of MCP agents are outlined, with particular attention to the responsibility of vendors to ensure security and the financial feasibility of optimizing API usage. The text also notes that MCP's current form is limited in handling complex, multi-source AI workflows, suggesting that while MCP sets a benchmark for user experience, future iterations or alternatives, potentially from companies like Google, might better address these issues by integrating MCP-like capabilities with existing secure protocols.
