"Ask HN: Why Do We Need MCP?" Signals Protocol Fatigue Nearly Two Years In
Hacker News·low signal
An Ask HN thread questioning the basic justification for the Model Context Protocol drew 15 comments on 10 points, an unusually high comment ratio for a low-scoring post. The framing is notable because MCP is now shipping as a first-class surface in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app's Customize tab and JetBrains enterprise controls, yet the value proposition is still being litigated by working developers. Worth watching as a leading indicator of whether MCP adoption is genuine or vendor-pushed.
