Interesting perspective because MCPs are safer when they give you access to your own content from trusted providers or local apps on your computer than when they give you access to public data which may have prompt injection booby traps.
The APIs of old were about giving you programmatic access to publicly available information. Public tweets, public Reddit posts, that sort of thing. That's the kind of data AI companies want for training, and you aren't getting it through MCP.
