Re: MCP is Dead
Simpler tools won out.
I’m going to make a bold claim: MCP is already dying. We may not fully realize it yet, but the signs are there. OpenClaw doesn’t support it. Pi doesn’t support it. And for good reason.
I agree. I tried the Github MCP once, watched as my naive granting of privileges resulted in massive context usage (each permission becoming an exposed API), and never went back. As Armin Ronacher said, CLI tools and regular code suffice. Like Eric, I think MCP slowly fades and most of the companies who built MCP servers deprecate them.
