Computer use can work without an MCP server

Demetrios Brinkmann argues that computer-use agents can avoid waiting for someone to create an MCP server, including in cases where one may never be built.

Supporting evidence

Original excerpt

that's why it's beautiful with computer use because you don't have to wait for the other person to set up an MCP server, or you don't have to go and build an MCP server to enable that. And there's a lot of these use cases that who knows if they even are gonna build an MCP server.
