> MCP itself is also an over-engineered implementation of AI plugins by OpenAI I'm confused by this comment and a reply that both seem to be under this assumption... first, it's from Anthropic, and second, it's hardly over-engineered. If you actually go and try and implement a specific MCP server's functionality from first principles into, say, some chat client of your choosing, you will quickly run into the problems that MCP addresses.
