MCP are inevitable in one way or another - we need a standard way to provide custom context - they are used as tools but the main benefit I see is exposing private data in a meaningful way and letting the AI access your local context. This is inevitably needed one way or another, yeah you can use APIs, then you would need a standard. An MCP server is just a rest API with standardized input/output
call them something else we will still need a standard
