Interesting, then I wonder if Pi having Skills support but not MCP support by default still makes sense

Pi does support MCP through an excellent pi-mcp-adapter plugin.

Yes, I meant the decision to not support MCP by default without plugins, like Skills, could be revisited if it’s now efficient

I don't see a reason to support MCPs by default. Pi is so extensive and has such a rich plugin ecosystem that MCP support is just one "pi install npm:pi-mcp-adapter" away.

Or you may choose another plugin that works differently.

That's the whole point of extensible systems like Pi or Emacs, you don't need to pray that maintainers will have the same vision as you, you just pick one of the many alternatives instead. Or ask pi to write one for you.
