We asked an agent to tune the same slow query on 3 Postgres MCP servers: Supabase, Neon and Postgres MCP Pro. Baton let us see why the agent ran extra queries and built unnecessary indexes, and once we knew why, we knew how to fix it.

“I rarely go to your dashboard anymore”
that’s what I keep hearing from users.
we spent years polishing the dashboard.
now we need to spend that same energy making our MCP stellar.
ask your users where they actually touch your product today. the answer probably moved.
Some serious side-eye coming at me from Claude this morning:
"Dave's typing looks different anyway: short, unfenced, lowercase, typo-heavy."

I think this is accurate and think the distinction doesn’t really matter.
API or MCP/skills, most products will just be a wealth of data and knowledge my AI can plug into.
“Software” without the unnecessary complication of a UX or visual interface.
My rough prediction here is there's going to be two types of companies:
1. Companies that are ok with basically being an API - they expose an MCP, skills, embrace your agents
2. Companies that charge a ton for API access, try to get you using their own agents,
Companies will gravitate to #2 because being API only is scary / feels very replaceable opening opportunities for #1 companies to replace them because they're more agent native
I don't have a good answer for what the moat is for #1 companies but it's how I want to be using software

The fact that SaaS co's are giving us agents instead of MCPs shows just how self-centered / narcissistic they are.
I never wanted to "live in your product." Your product was the best way to get something done. If the best way to get it done is now headless, please let me do that.

So many vendors are NOT getting this
I have one or two agents I use and like. For anyone else: give me an MCP interface to connect these agents to so I can use your service
Unless your a frontier AI lab, I prob don't want to use your agent, sorry
