The crazy thing with the anti-MCP wave to me could be boiled down to "you don't like it? Then don't use it."
It's like people hate it so much they forget how easy it is to spin one of these up; it's not like I spent weeks and weeks working on this.
I spun up an MCP server for a personal finance app I've been working on. OAuth with personal tokens and all the tools I added- guess how long it took me? Like 2 hours maybe. Some people find it useful, including me, and some don't. That's okay!
