- deadbabe 12d agoOn the contrary, you burn more tokens with MCP.
- 0x696C6961 12d agoThis is not true.
- cowmix 12d agoI guess it depends on the implementations. When I use the Atlassian CLI vs their MCP server, I tend to see something like half the token burn with the CLI with more accurate results. That could be an Atlassian issue but that's the results I'm seeing.
- dnautics 12d agoyeah MCP contains a provision for some blocktext for instructions. If your MCP has walls of text in those instructions, it will burn more tokens that a terse MCP.
- dnautics 12d agoHow do you think the LLM becomes aware of which mcps are available? Vibes?
- 0x696C6961 12d agoIt depends on the harness. But most use a tool_search tool.
- dnautics 12d agoyes and using that tool does what with tokens?
