There's something being overlooked here: the potential of MCPs as standalone applications for Claude Code users. Most people are treating MCPs as auxiliary tools, but the real opportunity sits in building them as independent, fully-featured apps. When you think about it, Claude Code opens up a whole new layer of capability—developers can leverage MCPs directly within their workflow, eliminating the friction of context switching. That's a big deal. The architecture supports it, the use cases are there, yet adoption remains niche. Whether it's automation frameworks, data processing pipelines, or integration layers—MCPs designed as standalone solutions could unlock serious value. We're probably just scratching the surface on what's possible here.
