How is the user installing the CLIs? Proprietary app store for each chat app?
- falcor84 4mo agoI didn't mean that users would install them. I meant that if mcp and AI agents continue being popular, then Google and Apple could choose to provide apps with cli sandboxes with the proper permissions. It is a big change, but I just didn't understand the "never"; we've had bigger changes.
- MatthewPhillips 4mo agoOk sure, the "never" was a bit strong here. Running CLIs on phones is not a normal thing and not as simple as it is on desktop. Apple prohibits apps from downloading and executing code, so some sort of new Apple-approved thing would be required here. That's a very heavy lift. Of course anything is possible, I just don't think that people advocating for MCP's death have really thought through these problems, and are mostly focused on the desktop productivity use-cases.
