Ben Hylak says every product should be a headless MCP for agents
What happened
On October 29, Simon Willison reported Ben Hylak's view of MCP and AI agents. Hylak argued that every product he uses should be a headless MCP, so that once it connects to an AI agent the user doesn't have to care about the underlying details. He excluded his own product from the claim, joking that its customers like the UI and like the team, and "we're special in that regard." The report covers the claim and the exception, with no product changes or implementation progress mentioned.
