> And now I fear that if I don’t try out or even start using AI tools that I’ll get overrun.

You can do this quite easily. Ask ChatGPT to come up with a nice cooking recipe and just take it from there. Ask it all kinds of questions and ask yourself what you find useful.

> Do I even need to know what is MCP?

No. And this comes from someone that uses it as I'm a developer. You might want a high level understanding of what tool-use is and what different LLMs are capable of doing. If you find LLMs useful then you might even want to equip Claude desktop with some tools that have been created for everyone to use.

For your perspective: MCP enables tool-use. Well, there are other ways, but MCP standardizes it.

> Do I need to start creating apps and sites using Vibe coding (I’m not a developer)?

At best, vibe coded apps allow you to create high fidelity prototypes, which is amazing but you can't create a fully functional product with just vibe coding. There may be the odd exception that made it work, but I suspect that would take a lot of effort with the current state of the art. I'd recommend lovable.dev if you want to create a prototype.
