You only have to spend 5 minutes browsing for MCP servers to see that there is an issue with AI slop. MCP is probably the first "standard" to be built out in the vibe-coding era and it really shows.
As mentioned in the article, its not clear to me what the advantage over OpenAPI is. Surely a swagger file solves more or less the same issue.
That said, one minor nice thing about the MCP servers is that they operate locally over stdin stdout, which feels a lot faster than HTTP/Rest.
- karussell 9mo agoWhat do you mean with "locally over stdin/stdout"? This is only true if the MCP server (and original service) runs locally.
- fergie 9mo agoIt sounds weird, but for reasons that I don't fully understand (bandwidth issues maybe?), first gen MCP servers run and accept "queries" locally and talk to their AI-minds themselves on the back end. Its not an HTTP API direct to a remote service as you might expect.
