It took me a minute to even understand this comment because for me the “obvious” use-case for MCP is local filesystem tasks, not web requests. Using MCP to manipulate files is my primary LLM use-case and has been ever since Anthropic released it and integrated it into Claude Desktop. I understand where you’re coming from, but I suspect that the idea here is to build something that is more “filesystem first.”

That makes sense. But if that's the case I think we should call a spade a spade and differentiate "Local-first MCP" and "Remote MCP"; because what (many, most?) companies are really trying to do is integrate with the latter.

Which is where you see this sort of feedback, where a bunch of us API engineers are like; "there's already a well-trodden path for doing all of this stuff. Can we just do that and agree that it's the standard?"
