I mean, the core security vulnerability explained here is that MCP does not expose / allow for any kind of authentication or user consent before accessing your computer's most sensitive resources, like a terminal or list of private Slack messages. Spotify, 1Password, or other services on your computer that use `localhost` do not have the same issue.

This would be a non-issue if some kind of simple origin-authenticated token exchange was built into the protocol itself.
