Why is the concept of "MCP" needed at all? Wouldn't a single tool - web access - be enough? Then you can prompt:

    Tell me the hottest day in Paris in the
    coming 7 days. You can find useful tools
    at www.weatherforadventurers.com/tools
And then the tools url can simply return a list of urls in plain text like

    /tool/forecast?city=berlin&day=2026-03-09 (Returns highest temp and rain probability for the given day in the given city)
Which return the data in plain text.

What additional benefits does MCP bring to the table?
