I am struggling too.

There is quite the security risk it seems. From giving your credentials to access to your filesystem and other OS related stuff.

Would you go to an website and willingly give your credentials or filesystem access?

You don't really know what is happening in the middle.

Finally if you are building an AI wrapper, you are just adding more "wrappers" on top

Not only that, but it doesn't scale either. My API at work has to handle 5,000 transactions per second. If you tried to get an agentic AI to use the API via MCP in anything close to approaching 5,000 TPS you'd either get throttled by the AI, or have an insane bill
That is also true! I noticed some crazy token costs lately.
