**What MCP changed**
MCP introduced a standard way for AI applications to connect with external tools, data, and prompts. It reduced the need for a separate custom integration for every model and service.
**Why users may see less of it**
Higher-level agent environments can hide tool discovery, authentication, and configuration. The protocol may continue operating underneath the interface even when users no longer install or manage individual servers directly.
**The durable question**
Regardless of the protocol name, agents still need secure access, controlled permissions, logging, error handling, and revocation.
**Community question**
**Is MCP becoming obsolete, or is it becoming infrastructure that normal users no longer need to see?**
