The author describes a common user onboarding problem with MCP servers—users opening the endpoint in a browser and seeing a 401 error—and shares a simple hack: returning an HTML page that explains how to properly add the server to an LLM client, which drastically reduced support tickets.
A defense of MCP (Model Context Protocol) against criticism that it puts garbage in context, noting that modern tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor implement progressive disclosure and load MCP tools on demand, making the complaint outdated. The author argues MCP is best for cloud-hosted platforms requiring authentication and discoverability.
OpenAI introduces a new generation of apps in ChatGPT with an open-source Apps SDK built on the Model Context Protocol, allowing developers to reach 800+ million users.
