That only works if you let the LLM do the interpretation of the MCP descriptions, in the case of TFA the idea was to use MCP without LLM, which is essentially same as any old API.


You can use MCP to dynamically call different services, without ever having to use an LLM to decide.

With an LLM it would go

List MCP Tools -> Get User prompt -> Feed both into LLM -> LLM tells you what tools to call

You could skip the LLM aspect completely and get all tools and let the user at runtime pick the tool that "playsSong" for example
