But the agent harness is still handling the session token for you either way. MCP might be an easy way for agent harness creators to abstract the issue away, but I don’t want to lose all REST conventions just to make it a little easier for them to write an agent harness.

It makes it harder for the LLM to understand what’s going on, not easier.

again, not all services are rest or with nice api, if they were, you'd just have the agent write scripts.

No, but MCPs aren’t free to build either. So if you need to build an API on top, why would you build an MCP instead of using one of the existing standards that both LLMs and humans already know how to work with?
