It would be interesting to know how it compares with Llamaparse, LLMWhisperer, Marker, Reducto

Unfortunately my reducto account was disabled rigth after this launch. But would be uploading benchmarks for rest at https://idp-leaderboard.org/

[Noob doubt]

Am I getting this right? Based on the architecture/flow diagram of MCP, every SaaS app out there can build an MCP server. But you'll need a "MCP host" to make it work, right? Right now, I'm only seeing a handful of hosts — Claude Desktop and Windsurf. Who will be building these "hosts"? I'm only seeing use cases revolving around these hosts. Is there any real-life production use-cases? How will this pan out?


The list here https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients has a number of Host applications, frameworks etc.


Today there are a handful of client-side options, cline, Claude desktop, windsurf, Google’s ADK, etc. keep in mind though, we’re talking about a spec that was released around last Thanksgiving. It’s been like 7 months, and the pace of development has been blistering.

Once the authN/authZ stuff is fully codified and baked, we’ll see first part MCP gateways and the ability to connect to those tools with the Chatbot of your choice.

Consider what we see now as a developer preview…
