what honestly is the difference between an mcp and a skill + instructions + curl.
Really it seems to me the difference is that an mcp could be more token-efficient, but it isn't, because you dump every mcp's instructions all the time into your context.
Of course then again skills frequently doesn't get triggered.
just seems like coding agent bugs/choices and protocol design?
