This has been my take, and maybe I'm missing something, but my thinking has been that in an ideal case there's an existing API with an OpenAPI spec you can just wrap with your FastMCP instantiation. This seemed neat, but while I was trying to do authenticated requests and tinkering with it with Goose I ended up just having Goose do curl commands against the existing API routes and I suspect with a sufficiently well documented OpenAPI spec, isn't MCP kinda moot?

On the other hand, in the absence of an existing API, you can implement your MCP server to just [do the thing] itself, and maybe that's where the author sees things trending.
