# Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production? > Source: > Published: 2026-09-03 11:21:18+00:00 | |||||||||||| 3 points by | I’ve been following MCP since it first came out. It got a lot of attention early on, but I haven’t come across many people using it in production. I may simply have missed them. If you’re using MCP in production, what are you using it for? What advantages have you found over a normal API or direct tool integration or just CLI? | ||||||||||| |
