Ask HN: What is the benefit of using MCP over a dictionary of functions?

Hacker News - Tue, 04/01/2025 - 11:46pm

I'm really confused with the MCP hype. I looked through their docs for quick start and it looks like more work and code than doing it simply with a dictionary. I feel I must be missing something here. Could someone please elaborate on why it is useful?

Hey Hacker News!

We're excited to launch Prmptly.xyz, a platform that makes AI prompt engineering accessible to everyone, regardless of technical skill. We've built a form-based system that allows users to create and utilize dynamic AI prompts through a simple, intuitive interface.

What is Prmptly.xyz?

Prmptly.xyz is an AI tool marketplace where you can create and use AI-powered forms. Imagine a form where you input details like your name, job title, and company, and then generate a tailored cover letter, resume, or even a custom image – all driven by dynamic AI prompts.

Key Features: - Form-Based Input: Users create forms with various input fields (text, file uploads, images, checkboxes, etc.) to gather specific information. - Dynamic Prompt Generation: Use liquid coding within prompts to dynamically incorporate user inputs. - AI Model Integration: Run the generated prompts through powerful AI models (text and image generation). - Marketplace for Prompts: Creators can publish and monetize their custom prompt forms. - Token-Based System: Users pay tokens to run prompts, rewarding creators for their work. - Diverse Applications: From generating CVs and social media content to creating images and code snippets, the possibilities are endless. - No Coding Required: Designed for ease of use, even for those with no technical background.

We'd love to hear your feedback!

Try it out at Prmptly.xyz and let us know what you think. We're eager to see what you create!
