Kind of an interesting twist in IT history: Did it need the advent of AI Agents to drive developer friendly, standardized and discoverable interfaces to systems?

Recently Model Context Protocol (MCP) got a lot of attention and traction. While this is good and exciting thing, I was wondering why this is actual needed? In a perfect & developer friendly world, it shouldn’t need another protocol just for agents, does it? AI should easily be able to use the existing interfaces, which have been built for convenience of human developers, no?
