My most common use case for MCP servers is to wire the documentation for whatever I’m working on into the Context.
I have done this with entire textbooks. Find a PDF and get GPT-5 to transcribe it page by page to Markdown. Costs a couple bucks and turns the agent into a wizard on that subject.
Context7, too, could easily have been a command line tool that both you and the agent can use. Even now, I don't see what MCP--specifically--brings to the table.
[1] One trick for Cursor users: put "/context/" in .gitignore and "!/context/" in .cursorignore. This will keep it out of git but still index it.
