Why on earth don't people understand that MCP and skills are complementary concepts, why? If people argue over MCP v. Skills they clearly don't understand either deeply.
Future version of the protocol can easily expose skills so that MCPs can acts like hubs.
No appetite for that. The MCP vs Skills debate has gradually become just a proxy war for the camps of AI skeptics vs AI boosters. Both sides view it as another chance to decide about more magic vs less, in absolute terms, without doing the work of thinking about anything situational. Nuance, questions, reasoning from first principles, focusing on purely engineering considerations is simply not welcome. The extreme factions do tend to agree that it might be a good idea to attack the middle though! There's no changing this stuff, so when it becomes tiresome it's time to just leave the HN comment section.
