- AI Agents Just Got an Upgrade
AI agents have been stuck using API calls to interact with tools like Gmail, Google Drive, and databases.
The problem?
Every action—sending an email, fetching a message, or creating a draft—required a separate API request. That meant developers had to manually configure each action, read through endless documentation, and deal with messy integrations.
But now, MCP Agents change everything.
Instead of manually defining API calls, an MCP Agent can ask the server what tools it has access to and then execute them dynamically.
That means:
• No more hardcoding API requests
• No more maintaining dozens of workflow nodes
• No more reading API docs just to send a simple request
Here’s how it works:
• The agent fetches a list of available tools from an mCP server.
• It decides which tool to use based on the task.
• It executes the action automatically.
In other words, you don’t have to micromanage AI workflows anymore—the agent figures it out for you.
I break it all down in my latest video.
