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?

I agree that more empathy would enrich mundane interactions.

But I also think it is worthwhile to look for other adventurous people with whom I can share my own interests.

I'm not making decisions for anybody. You can stay at home and watch your garden grow. Fine with me. I described what type of people I like. And that those are rather the pyramid climbers.

    Everybody is adventurous; each in their own way.
This is actually a common statement people make with whom I feel bored. I call it the "evasive defense".

Me: "Let's fly to Paris tomorrow!"

People: "Nah, I'm fine just doing what I did the last 3650 days. I wonder how I deal with this issue I have with my boss at work. That is enough adventure for me."

Me: "Trash the job! Let's start a startup!"

People: "Nah, that is not for me. The benefit-to-work ratio at my current job is just too good."

    It’s the relationships, stupid
But is it relationships with just anybody? Or relationships with emotionally healthy, intelligent, adventurous people who share my interests?

Maybe I have to climb Maslow’s pyramid to be compatible with those?
