I feel like there should be a consistent protocol, an industry standard for interacting with AIs, I do see value in it, however, as you said, it doesn’t seem like there’s value in turning the entire web or everything we can think of into an mcp server.
At least not at the moment, and perhaps it will stay that way. Its logical to think that LLMs will always be more expensive to run vs a simple web or shell script for a specialised purpose.
Arguably you can drop an API or a local script for that AI to consume, but I do see benefits of having it standardised for the industry as mcp if you want something to run as an infrastructure layer that’s AI agnostic.
I believe so, sounds logical, yes. I haven’t measured it across LLMs to tell you if there is more/less overhead, confusion, hallucinations, repeated mistakes etc..

A web fetch is not much different than asking an MCP for its tools, right?
