This addresses the gap that most work happens in browsers while MCP assumes that work happens with AI clients. I have a fundamental question though: how is it different from directly connecting my web app's JS APIs with tool calling functions and talking directly with a LLM server with tool-call support? Is it the same thing, but with a protocol? or am I missing the bigger picture?

Np thanks for reading! The difference is with MCP-B you don't have to integrate or maintain any AI chat functionality yourself.

It's a protocol which allows the user to bring their own model to interact with the tools on your website
