Ben Hylak on the Ideal Product Form: Everything Can Become a Headless MCP
Ben Hylak said that every product he uses should be a headless MCP; once connected to an agent, users need not care about the underlying implementation—except for his own product, because customers really like their UI. This quote was collected and published by Simon Willison on October 29, 2026.

every product i use should just be a headless mcp, that feeds into an agent, where i never have to think about anything underneath.
except for our product, of course.
in our product, customers love the ui and love us very much.
we're special that way.
