I think MCP is awesome, mainly because it forces devs to design the simplest possible tools/APIs/functions so even an average-performance LLM can use them correctly to get things done.

As developers, we often want everything to be rich, verbose, and customizable — but the reality is that for most users (and now for AIs acting on their behalf), simplicity wins every time. It’s like designing a great UI: the fewer ways you can get lost, the more people (or models) can actually use it productively.

If MCP ends up nudging the ecosystem toward small, well-defined, composable capabilities, that’s a win far beyond just “AI integration.”
