Why businesses need an MCP Server
it starts with a blatant display of promiscuity and the promise to care - together with 137 partners - about my privacy.
Fortunately, I have no tokens left for image creation so I spare you this visual.
But seriously: Who wants to use such a website? Who wants to see the ads at all? Who wants their data shared with 137 "partners"?
It ended quickly with me firing up a playwright MCP server and asking my AI assistant to check my calender for available time slots and answer the survey.
If that's geek gibberish to you, let me quickly explain:
My AI Assistant is like Chat GPT or Claude and you know it as well.
Playwright is "a browser for AI agents", enabling the AI agent to behave like a normal person on the internet.
MCP exposes the things a browser can do to the AI agent like a toolbox.
Behind the scenes, the Agent has access to my calendar using Microsoft's interface called "Graph".
All together show that the business model of a website offering surveys to agree on dates and show advertisement (with 137 partners) to users is dead.
But what is the future?
The future is a website which explains, allows you to try out and allows you to understand, if you access the site as a human with a browser.
You might be able to browse the catalog, you might be able to buy. But the most important thing: All data and processes are made available to AI agents, too:
If an agent accesses the website directly - not using playwright to pretend to be a human - the agent will look for a hidden information in the websites HTML-Code to understand that there is an MCP server at all.
The logic exists already, you can simply add "hey, I have a MCP server" to your website.

This means that if I am using Claude and it finds your website, it can talk directly to it - data to data without html making data look beautiful.
