Stumbling into AI: Part 6—I've been thinking about Agents and MCP all wrong

Read Original

The author shares their struggle to conceptualize and build a practical LLM agent, initially constrained by a traditional data pipeline mindset. They detail their breakthrough in understanding agents as systems that use tools (often via MCP) to achieve goals, rather than simply processing structured data. The article is a technical reflection on adapting software engineering concepts to the emerging paradigm of AI agents.
