Treat MCP as a Connector Layer, Not Another Agent
Admirable-Future-633 · reddit · 2026-08-24
The author argues that framing MCP as magic agent infrastructure is misleading. Its real value is as a layer allowing AI apps to request tools or context predictably. Instead of wiring every tool at once—which makes the system harder to debug—developers should start with one specific task and slowly expand. MCP is most useful when it clarifies access, not when it inflates workflows.
