AI brief
Simon Willison commented on a Hacker News discussion arguing that MCP was always a bad idea, saying the article misses the value MCP brings today and that MCPs have little use for people running full terminal agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Meta Muse and OpenClaw.
Why it matters: It reflects an ongoing debate over whether the Model Context Protocol remains useful as terminal-based coding agents grow more capable.
