I guess I’m finally old enough to become old-man-yelling-at-cloud. I’m convinced that the only reason why MCP became a thing is because newcomers weren’t that familiar with OpenAPI and other existing standards, and because a protocol that is somehow tied to AI (even though it’s not, as this article shows) generates a lot of hype these days. There’s absolutely nothing novel about MCP.
