   I think we'll see more of this. Of course SAAS companies like Figma, and soon Adobe and ... will see that their tools are still useful. And they are useful to LLMs like they are useful to humans.

   The obvious play to "extract value" from that is to restrict access to bots and offer LLM integration themselves, for a fee.

      How does restricting the MCP ""user agent"" to only claude and codex and whatever enable Figma to extract value?

         Soon they might require a vendor specific api key to access it and that requires support from the big players (anthropic,openai). They’re laying down the “framework” now.

         "User agent" but do users run LLMs behind their agents on their hardware? No, it's run in an AI datacenter. They can easily make a deal to route that without involving user's machine, or they can route this via user's machine but attach a signature. Of course both parties must agree on that, but technically there's nothing stopping them

            No, you only get to use the Adobe LLM, which you pay adobe from. And yes, it runs remotely so they can charge you per-use.
