MCP is something people think of as a "panacea" to all AI issues. I think people are beginning to realize it is just one, albeit important, part of a successful AI architecture.

First of all, people have been saying this for a long time. It’s nothing new, at least half a year, maybe closer to a year.

Secondly, it’s not even that important, it’s the tool calling itself that’s important. MCP servers are just a convenient way to interact with remote services when a command line utility for the same would be inconvenient.
