I don't see a divergence, from what I can tell a lot of people have only just started using agents in the past 3-4 months when they got good enough that it was hard to say otherwise. Then there's stuff like MCP, which never seemed good and was entirely driven by people who talked more about it than used it. There also used to be stuff like langchain or vector databases that nobody talks about anymore, maybe they're still used but they're not trendy anymore.

It seems way too soon to really narrow down any kind of trends after a few months. Most people aren't breathlessly following the next twitter trend, give it at least a year. Nobody is really going to be left behind if they pick up agents now instead of 3 months ago.

What‘s used instead of MCP in reality? Just REST or other existing API things?

Yes and no, it's like if a text document was your OpenAPI specification.

The LLM agent can make sense of the text document, figure out the actual tool calls and use them.

And you, the MCP server operator, can change the "API" at any time and the client (LLM agent) will just automatically adjust.
