Eh, sort of. I think a lot of API surfaces are too chatty for LLM consumption, or do not provide the primitive API surfaces that compose what they currently offer today. MCP in the middle doesn't give you that for free. The data shapes are different, the surfaces are probably necessarily wider in a lot of use cases, efficient retrieval of small bits of data that feed aggregates, etc.
