MCP Is Mostly Bullshit

• emorning3 1y ago
  I think that MCPs are awesome. I also think that they wont get much adoption, just like OSGi. In general, people have shit for brains and MCP is just too abstract a concept for their tiny turds.

  sure there are hype around MCP, but how does that bridges to "MCP Is Mostly Bullshit"? the title is more or less click bait, even author admits it > I am not even saying MCP is bad tech or useless. It’s just one way among others to provide context to AI assistants/agents. If you have ever built an LLM-based application, you have more or less done something similar. but beyond just similar, it's very good to see there is a standard protocol that everyone adopts it, and the MCP will make the existing tools & services immediate ready with better models being released in the future much easier

  You can tell that MCP (model context protocol) was designed by those who haven't thought about security or looked at a rigorous RFC (request for comment) document and instead done it for the 'vibes'. MCP has the equivalent security as the over-hyped and still error-prone JWT (Json Web Token) standard. Both are horrific 'standards' designed to cause lots of security incidents.

  Worth noting that Anthropic themselves are steering away from the "MCP" term - they're using "Claude custom integrations"
