By wrapping the API with a script and feeding that inventory to the LLM... You reinvented MCP.

Having service providers implement MCP saves everyone from having to do that work themselves.

Plus there are a lot more uses cases than developers running agents on their own machine.



Wrapping here is literally just

```

  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  creds={path to creds}
  basepath={url basepath}

  url={parse from args}

  curl -H "Authorization: #{creds}" "#{basepath}/#{url}" $rest_of_args
```

Just a way to read/set the auth and then calling curl. Its generalizable to nearly all apis out there. It requires no work by the provider and you can shape it however you need.
