The illustrations are on their official website.

I find it hard to respect a company that invented dongle and claims to have invented USB

> MCP, despite its open-source claim, heavily relies on proprietary interfaces from Anthropic's Claude model. Thus, the proclaimed openness is surface-level at best, creating subtle but significant barriers within the ecosystem.

This strikes me as fundamentally untrue, but I'd love to see an example of this in the source code or documentation.
