Custom scripts often beat waiting for a better MCP, says one AI workflow user

The poster says that, in practice, “skills + bespoke scripts” are far more efficient than waiting for a tool vendor to improve its MCP implementation.
The quoted line complains that it would be nice if Linear optimized its MCP for users who aren’t “token billionaires,” and the reply flips the discussion into an engineering takeaway: teams often get better results by building narrow, custom scripts around their workflow than by relying on generic integrations to become perfect.
