Pattern: MCP Daily Driver Stack Converges to 3-4 Servers After 3 Months
An r/ClaudeAI thread (78 upvotes, 65 comments) on real MCP usage after 3 months reveals that practitioners converge on 3-4 daily-driver servers regardless of initial install count: filesystem+git (built-in), one web fetch/search server, and one domain-specific server (database, CI, or documentation). Servers with overlapping functionality or that require frequent context are uninstalled. Core insight: more than 6 active MCP servers produces context noise without proportional capability gain.
