I think the death of MCP has been greatly exaggerated. I like that I can easily edit the mcp config and use npx to run a "token efficient" mcp server. Finding those is the hard part.

What gave mcp servers a bad name is the way folks implemented them. They just wrapped rest apis exposing too many tools, too much unnecessary data returned from the apis, and not managing the request context...just shoving everything in and blowing up the context.

I've used a lot of terrible ones for sure, and ended up just building my own using strategies that reduce bloat and token consumption.
