MCP works best for tool calling that doesn't require auth (so tools that are trusted on your own machine). The whole pitch that you should be using it for business facing tools and things that require auth is a terrible idea.
Even if you're doing local only - MCP tools can mostly be covered by simply asking Claude Code (or whatever) to use the bash equivalent.

In other words, downloading random crap that runs unconfined and requires a shitty app like Claude Desktop. BTW, Claude Desktop is ALSO an example of AI slop. It barely works, constantly just closing chats, taking 10 seconds to switch between conversations, etc. In my case, I wanted to connect our CRM with ChatGPT and ask it to organize our customer notes. And also make this available as a service to users, so they won't have to be AI experts with subscriptions to Claude.
