I agree - MCP just standardizes APIs to make it easier for LLM clients to consume them. Imagine if we had to use standard APIs - it would be more difficult to enable any single one. That’s why the labs instituted MCP.

No it doesn't. It adds yet another Nth "API standardization" spec.

That's what we started doing... and never looked back. Now we're thinking of exposing parts of the database in readonly mode to in-house staff (non-developers) so they can vibe code whatever the hell kind of tools they want...
Just like us to take something and limit it back to being useless until we implement the feature (tools).
