Anthropic's MCP was meant to power agentic AI — but exposes stack fragility

Cloud analyst David Linthicum tweeted about MCP (Model Context Protocol): the protocol created by Anthropic standardizes AI-tool connections and is essential for agents to communicate with external resources.
But while MCP was meant to power agentic AI, he argues, in practice it has exposed the fragility of the underlying stack. He closes by asking followers "Seen this happen?", inviting real-world accounts of MCP running into trouble in production.
