I'm with you, but it makes for extremely impressive demos. And surprisingly useful day to day improvements.

It's not like you can't do this manually (or automatically) but MCP makes things like this so much easier:

Undoubtedly there's an incredible amount of hype, but there's a reason for it. I prefer MCP tools that are read only for now.

Sounds useful. However, I'd rather put deterministic code in control of the LLM than the LLM in control of deterministic code. And that's even before prompt injections.
