You've never used an LLM against an MCP server with a properly built API. The ad hoc shit you can do is amazing.
Imagine you are managing 1,500 endpoints. A mix of Windows (both clients and servers), Mac, and Linux. Now imagine that one day there's a CVSS 10.0 in Eclipse Temurin 17 and you suddenly need to know everywhere it's installed and which precise 17.x version.
You could spend all damn day fussing with SQL -or- you could fire up $LLM and tell it "Give me a report showing all installed instances of Temurin below version 17.3. Sorted by endpoint type and operating system".
Suddenly want to know how many windows workstations haven't rebooted in more than 14 days? You can do that and get an answer in not much more time than it takes you to type the question.
Suddenly need to change a setting in 15 different Microsoft Tenancies? Snap, it's done.
LLMs are NOT magic bullets but they are useful for WAY more than what you listed. You just don't know that because you don't do that kind of work.
Do you know who can also do all that? A properly trained ma. Maybe learn your craft mate.
If you start with LLM before knowing your shit, you will be worthless in 10 years.
I don't care that it can do that, not until they fix all the negatives it has.
Our IT guy does this stuff, but there's training involving to get it to do that. I'm holding out for Zorin Grid which is supposed to do all that from a singled overview dashboard
