I fully agree.

MCP is just too complex for what it is supposed to do. I don't get what's the benefit. It is the kind of thing that has the potential to be a huge time waste because it requires custom dev tools to develop and troubleshoot.

It is not even a protocol in the traditional sense - more of a convention.

And of course we will implement it, like everyone else, because it is gathering momentum, but I do not believe it is the right approach at all. A simpler HTTP-based OpenAPI service would have been a lot better and it is already well supported in all frameworks.

The only way I can make sense of MCP in the context of an STDIO.
