MCP Apps

Watch Rebuilding the web for agents for Yosef’s vision of assistants composing small service interfaces inside chat. He presents MCP Apps as a way to preserve provider identity and human choice when people still need to inspect or select something. His “nearly headless web” argument is useful for thinking about which interactions an assistant could handle and which still benefit from visible controls.

Return to the same talk for a broader account of agent readiness: understanding, authentication, action and payment alongside discovery. Yosef contrasts browser automation and co-browsing with direct agent access. His account of switching from Mixpanel to PostHog illustrates his argument that agent integration friction can influence tool selection; it does not establish a general comparison of those products.

Use Yosef’s discussion of ORA to explore how agents find guidance and machine-usable resources. He reports agents reaching documentation and homepages rather than independently seeking llms.txt, introduces ORA Journey and ORA.directory, and discusses catalogs and resource discovery. The supplied summary flags an internally inconsistent numerical account, so treat this material as a prompt to observe behavior across harnesses rather than as a reliable quantitative benchmark. His closing accessibility argument connects usable nonvisual signals with both human and agent access.
