Marginally technical executives are really dangerous here. My CTO is "all in" on MCP but fails to see it's an over-engineered attempt by one player to own the thin veneer on top of the bog-standard plumbing that's actually doing all the work. It's like OpenAI made an ODBC database connector and is saying "we created relational databases!"
- paulgb 2y agoI think the only reason people think MCP is over-engineered is that people have been waiting for a way to expose remote tool calls in a client application, MCP came along and had that (among other things), and people assumed that that was all it was good for. But it's not! It's like saying a microwave is over-engineered because you only use the timer functionality.
