Interesting. This is exactly what I've been doing on my own anyway, since MCP feels bulky as hell (as a context window hit) vs. just calling APIs directory. Am I right that this just turned MCPs into directory services? 🧵
Unless I'm off, they just said. 1. Don't use MCPs to call the tools, they're too heavy 2. Use the MCPs to figure out how the tool works 3. Then have your agents then write actual code that calls the API efficiently Am I reading this correctly? @simonw @AnthropicAI @ThePrimeagen
@DanielMiessler It's a good idea, we wrote up about this a while too: https://jngiam.bearblog.dev/mc...
@DanielMiessler I thought it was just me. MCP is nice but felt slower than just calling tools.
