AI builders are getting a strange new problem.
The coding part is becoming less lonely.
A good agent can inspect a repository, read current docs, open a browser, run tests, summarize logs, and help move a project forward without waiting for the user to paste every detail into chat.
That is a real change.
It is also why MCP matters. MCP gives AI applications a standard way to connect to external systems: tools, data sources, workflows, and application context. Instead of treating an AI assistant as a text box, you can connect it to the places where work actually happens.
