I know of two benefits to MCP over Skills:

- If your agent doesn't have a full Bash-style code execution environment it can't run skills. MCP is a solid option for wiring in tools there.

- MCP can help solve authentication, keeping credentials for things in a place where the agent can't steal those credentials if it gets compromised. MCPs can also better handle access control and audit logging in a single place.
