Q&A with Kent C. Dodds

Focus is on Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a replacement for websites that lets services be actioned via chat apps so the end user pays for the model and the service avoids per‑user LLM costs. Actual tools used: Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, plus Raycast and Claude. Biggest technical pain is non‑determinism and not controlling which model or client users run, like browser variability. MCP servers are hosted on Cloudflare, which simplifies deployment. Web devs shift to building MCP servers.
