a review of MCPs fad state

MCP’s popularity will be relatively short-lived. The cost benefit does not add up, and there are readily available alternatives. The introduction of Claude Skills and OpenAI’s quick adoption signal that even model providers agree.

I’m in this boat. it seems using AI to generate well defined integrations is better than MCP..
