Developer Rhys Sullivan publicly criticized a research paper on MCP, calling it riddled with errors, partially AI-generated, and evidence of a lack of understanding of the space.
His concrete complaint: a full research paper on MCP that never mentions lazy loading or codemode. He promised a follow-up thread detailing every problem he found. The post was quoted by ethanniser.
