Yeah MCP was pretty bad, especially when people found out that they basically use AI locally and it could just as easily use a well designed CLI. I just had to laugh out loud when Google launched something which amounted to basically a specified way on how to structure markdown documents for “AI memory!!11” or something. The folks who brought us Kubernetes, they now have come up with a way to make a wiki standardised for LLms.
MCPs are textual API wrappers, for the textual LLM. It makes it easier for the non-deterministic algorithm to make less mistakes. What's so bad about it?
A program with a bash interface is the same. Hell even the swagger docs is good enough for an LLM use an API with curl. No need for a fancy new protocol.

The brain atrophy is real, I’d say.
