Co-author here. We are not bots. Just two indie developers who quit their jobs trying to build impactful things.

'Vibe coding' has been great for us to prototype quickly, launch and test. As we kept building the complexity grew so much that we are hitting debugging death loops. Thats when we built this MCP.

My perspective is that MCPs are like browser extensions. There is nonpoint in building another IDE from scratch. IDEs like Cursor unlocked massive distribution channel and MCPs are hreat way to solve specific problems.

As you rightly observed, it's not the tech that is interesting. It's the ability of the tech to meet where users are is what makes it great. From my point of view, there is a specific context in which people vibe code - hobby projects, indie projects to make money, projects on legacy code, etc. They either might not have time or skill to do even simple things like adding an API. And thats where MCPs flourish. And as to why MCPs are making to the top, I think its because there are many of us who are matching the persona I mentioned.
