Readit NewsHonestly, I think the biggest friction for MCP adoption has been how un-userfriendly it is. It’s great for devs, but not the average users. Users don't always want to chat, sometimes they just want to click a button or adjust a slider. This feels like the answer to that problem.
Full disclosure, I'm partial here because of our work at https://usefractal.dev. We were early adopters when MCP first came out, but we always felt like something was missing. We kept wishing for a UI layer on top, and everyone says it's gonna take forever for the industry to adopt, maybe months, maybe years.
I cannot believe the adoption comes so quickly. I think this is gonna be huge. What do you guys think?

I love being able to type "make an iptables rule that opens 443" instead of having to dig out the man page and remember how to do that. IMO the next natural extension of this is giving the LLM more capability to generate user interfaces so I can interact with stuff exactly bespoke to my task.
This on the other hand seems the other way round, it's like bolting a static interface onto the LLM, which could defeat the purpose of the LLM interface layer in the first place right?
I don't think we can generate anywhere close to this kind of UI just yet.
We built https://usefractal.dev/ to make it easier for people to build ChatGPT Apps (they are technically MCP Apps) so I have seen the use cases. Most of these use cases LLM cannot generate the UI on the fly.
