Since the introduction of Model Context Protocol, I've been wondering why this protocol is so complicated to work with and after many wasted hours and a few MCP spec updates, I've decided to write down what I think MCP should have been and I call it Naive Context Protocol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Maybe this approach is in fact naive (please tell why!), the "spec" is very minimal at this point (I will expand based on feedback here) and it probably ignores some use-case (some of them on purpose), but I would like to hear:
1. What everyone here thinks the MCP/NCP should've been/should be?
2. What use-cases would you like a context protocol to support?
"You could probably make a lot of money simply by investing in companies that a significant percentage of the latest YC batch use. They're the quintessential early adopters."
I wanted to see what services are used on batch W24 company websites. Of course this not a complete representation since it doesn't include internal, server side or behind authentication services.
These numbers are out of 197 total companies in batch W24:
- Octolane is the most popular company in W24 so far, used by 10 within the batch.
- 88 use Google analytics vs 2 that use Plausible
- Many use webflow (50) or framer (42) to build the website
It loads the LLM in the browser, using webgpu, so it works offline after the first load, it's also PWA you can install. It should work on chrome > 113 on desktop and chrome > 121 on mobile.
I wanted a privacy preserving AI chat bot since I didn't feel comfortable about putting personal issues into ChatGPT. It uses webllm models to run in the browser. Make your own chat by saving a message.

Ok, but how is Marcus Aurelius involved? Does it use search the Meditations with RAG, or does it use a model fine-tuned on extracts from the Meditations? Or...?
Ah, a most excellent inquiry, my dear! adjusts philosopher's cloak As Marcus Aurelius, I must say that the connection between Marcus Aurelius and this chatbot is purely nominal.
LLM's are surprisingly good at giving advice about minor personal problems and social situations, probably on par with a newspaper advice columnist. It's not therapy but that doesn't mean it's not useful. The main problem is it's relentlessly positive and it's not going to give you 'tough love' advice, so if you're really a mess you're not going to hear what you need to hear.
I think I can't trust a therapist enough to be completely honest, while I can just write anything into the chat, knowing no one, (except google) will ever know :D
