iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

But I suspect that 5-10 years from now, we’ll look back at how we’re using agents today, with our 5-hr limits, and weekly limits, and token costs, and cute little chat interfaces everywhere… the same way we now look back at dial-up internet. I for one am excited for what’s coming!

There are entire industries that wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for fast, widely accessible internet access. I feel like we’re at a similar point with AI agents. We’re already doing some pretty incredible things with them today.

And then broadband beamed from satellites in the sky, to planes flying at 40K feet! From our point of view in the dial-up era, little did we know what the internet would look like 20 years later, how fast it would get, all the forms it would take and all the things we’d end up doing with it.

We’re living in the dial-up era of AI agents. Remember how exciting it was when we finally graduated from dial-up speeds to broadband speeds? And all the things that enabled? And then we had mobile, and GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 4G, 5G speeds walking with us everywhere we go.

An ERP system having an MCP Server is the last thing I expected. Truly signs of the times.

Never thought I’d hear “MCP Server” mentioned in a cold call voicemail. Signs of the times!

Just about to make a DNS change that affects hundreds of thousands search requests per minute on Typesense Cloud. No big deal. All in a day's work.

Having your agents pay down the tech debt you've created over the years is so strangely satisfying 😬

... all without leaving the comfort of ChatGPT / Claude / your agent of choice. So yes, I've gone from being repulsed by the MCP hype to shipping an MCP Server in the course of a few months. Life comes at you fast I guess 😅 Go try it out! Paste this into your agent:

"Create a Typesense cluster, import this data and build me a first search." And it'll go do the work. You can also tune your search queries, set up synonyms, merchandize, inspect metrics, manage clusters, search our docs, query your invoices, etc, etc

Ok, with all that talk about MCP Servers... If you were wondering, does Typesense have an MCP Server? Funny you should ask. Yes! Yes we do. We recently launched an MCP Server for Typesense Cloud! So you can now tell your agent:

Too often, I’ve seen MCP Servers ship tens of tools and a global read and write permission scope. Makes it totally unusable in real world use cases.

2) It separates permission scopes granularly, so that you the user can choose what actions the agents can take on your behalf. (For eg: separating read vs write for each resource)

Signs that an MCP Server is well built: 1) It thoughtfully limits the number of tools it exposes to the agent (to improve instruction following and reduce context bloat), and instead designs them as parameters to tool calls.

Same SaaS product, but now with a new way to interact with it.

000 0

Snail mail. Telephone. Website. Mobile app. NEW: **MCP Server.** The website and mobile app are interfaces for humans to interact with the product. The MCP Server is an interface for your agent to interact with the product on your behalf.

100 0

And then over many decades, a website became a big way you’d transact with a business. Then came mobile apps as the next “channel” to do conduct business. Now this little thing called AI is dawning on us And I think we're adding another new channel to do business.

For a while it was just telephone and physical mail That’s how you did business with customers. Then came this little idea of connecting computers together in a network. A global little network called the Internet.

while another makes me leave, login, click around and come back… I'm starting to prefer the first one. Interesting new surface area for SaaS products to compete on.

Jason Bosco @jasonbosco.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

All other things being equal, my preference leaned towards the service that had a well thought out MCP Server to access their services from my agents. Because if I'm already working inside ChatGPT / Claude for a good chunk of my day, and one service lets my agent do everything I need

I was recently looking for a SaaS product. Having experienced the usefulness of MCP Servers recently, my evaluation criteria sub-consciously included “MCP Server availability” to my checklist.

Having to click through a UI feels like unnecessary ceremony now. So I think we're going to end up using both, depending on what we're trying to do.

Jason Bosco @jasonbosco.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I don't think MCP Servers are going to fully replace web / mobile UIs. There are plenty of things where I want to look around, browse, inspect things visually, etc. But for "I know exactly what I want done, please just go do it" workflows

Highly recommend trying this out if you haven’t already explored this. If a SaaS service says they offer a hosted MCP server, copy the link they give you, paste it into your agent and say “Setup this MCP Server at this link for me”. It’s easier than it sounds!

Jason Bosco @jasonbosco.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

"Look up X from this system, use it to figure out Y, and then go update Z in this other system." This kind of workflow previously meant opening 4 tabs, copying stuff around, and losing 20 minutes somewhere along the way. Now I can do this one prompt.

When I first started using an MCP Server, I thought “cool, I guess” and left it at that. Didn’t really get the hype. Then months later, I installed a second MCP Server from another SaaS platform into the same agent and that is where things got interesting for me.

One thing I really like about MCP Servers: I don't have to remember where a SaaS product put a particular feature. Which menu was it under? Which settings page? Was it under the three dots? 😅 I can just tell my ChatGPT / Codex / Claude instance what I want done, and it will figure it out.

I think MCP Servers are going to become yet another one of those interfaces. Website, mobile app, MCP Server. So instead of / in addition to a human clicking around, you can also have an agent doing the clicking-around-equivalent for you.

110 0

Just like how before websites were a common thing, companies used to do business over phone / mail, and then once websites became a thing, having a website became another way for customers to interact with a business. Then mobile apps became another interface.

This unlocks a whole variety of new workflows that would have previously taken up a LOT of your time if you had to do all this manually. --- Anyway, I'm late to the party, but I'm officially MCP Server pilled now. Just like how before…

For eg, you could say, "look up all issues that came into our support system yesterday, triage them and open a ticket with specs on how to solve them in our ticketing system". Now we're talking.

Once you connect multiple SaaS services' MCP servers into your ChatGPT / Claude, you can then ask your agent to do this whole cross-SaaS workflow for you in a single prompt.

Imagine you have to lookup some info in one SaaS service, and then do something with that in another SaaS service.

100 0

So it essentially gives you a whole new way to interact with all the SaaS services you use, without having to use their web/mobile UI. --- That's the 101 stuff. Here's the 201:

100 0

You type instructions into your regular conversation window, and have your agent interact with the SaaS service for you, to look stuff up, take actions for you, etc through the MCP server.

100 0

If you're already using ChatGPT / Claude, the best part is that you can stay within an interface that you already use.

100 0

Now imagine if you didn't have to deal with the button clicking and tapping in a UI, and instead you could talk / type in natural language to the SaaS service. That's what an MCP Server gives you (in the context of a SaaS service).

100 0

But at the end of the day, you're just interacting with a frontend either in a browser or in an app, which then initiates operations on the backend for you.

100 0

Think about a SaaS service you use. You login to their site, click on menus and buttons, enter some stuff into text boxes, see some loading spinners / loading states, etc, etc and you have to remember where all these buttons and workflows are.
