MCP is pretty cool, but the way every AI influencer pivoted to producing MCP glorification posts at the same time has been groan-inducing. I can usually ignore the hype cycles, but I've been bombarded with so much MCP influencer content in the past few months that I feel exhausted every time I see those three letters.
The former is well-understood and has legitimate use. The latter was a bubble that thankfully mostly burst by now, with the grifters moving on to the next fad (AI).
Now if there is a good way to deal with authentication and authorization piece without agents gone wild that would excite me as a dev a lot more at this point.
I think as a developer, as opposed to an IT integrator or something like that, you should be the most excited about this situation.
