Personally I find MCP a bit limiting - I'm using Emacs bindings, and then provide LLMs elisp functions to call.

I posted a demo here a while ago where I try to have it draw turtle graphics:

Since then I've also provided enough glue that it can interact with the Arch Linux installer in a VM (or actual hardware, via serial port) - with sometimes hilarious results, but at least some LLMS do manage to install Arch with some guidance:

Somewhat amusingly, some LLMs have a tendency to just go on with it (even when it fails), with rare hallucinations - while other directly start lying and only pretend they logged in.
