I had that opinion too.

You can ask an agent to browse a web page and click a button etc. They will work out how to use a browser automation library.

But it’s not worth the cost, time spent waiting or the inconsistency between implementations.

MCP just offloads that overload, much like how they can use bash tools when they are quite capable of writing an implementation of grep etc.
