Today's podcast covers:1. [MCP: The Differential for Modern APIs and Systems | 🤖](https://docs.mcp.run/blog/2025/03/27/mcp-differential-for-modern-apis/)Welcome to Pocket to Podcast. Today we have 1 article covering the transformative approach to API integration with MCP (Modern Communication Protocol).In the digital age, the integration of software systems via APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) is a cornerstone of technology development. However, traditional API integration methods often face significant challenges due to their rigid and brittle nature. Steve Manuel, CEO and Co-founder of Dylibso, introduces a groundbreaking solution to these challenges through MCP, aiming to revolutionize the way APIs and systems communicate and integrate.Manuel outlines the core issue with traditional API integration, which relies on a strict contract between systems to exchange data in a precise format. This rigidity leads to brittle integrations that easily break when any part of the structure changes, such as API version updates or minor adjustments in data parameters. The maintenance burden to keep these integrations functional is hig...Generated by Pocket to Podcast
