I don't know about that. Zapier and automation apps were huge before agents, or even for integrations for Slack. There is definitely a big portion of tech products that have mutual benefits by providing good APIs to be in the same bubble
Yes, that's my point - Zapier is exactly where this is heading. Automation as a service, requiring you to enter into contracts with everyone, and limited only to what said services feel like enabling. This is the opposite of what we hoped APIs will be, and the opposite of what people hope MCP will be.
