- MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers aim to teach LLMs how to interact with other software systems.
- MCP provides resources, prompts, and tools to LLMs, but the categorization is confusing and arbitrary.
- The author questions the necessity of MCP, suggesting existing standards like OpenAPI and CLI tools are sufficient.
- Arguments for MCP include limited context windows in LLMs and poor documentation of services, but the author remains skeptical.
- The author concludes that improving existing tools and documentation is more important than adopting new protocols like MCP.
