We don't need packages or functions, we can just write the code ourselves, every time it's needed.
We don't need compilers, the computer understands assembly already.
It's a mismatch of use - MCP isn't about telling the LLM about the APIs. It's also about encapsulating and simplifying them so the LLM isn't manually figuring them out every single time from scratch.
OpenAPI specs provide everything the LLM needs to understand an API. And if it can be simplified for the LLM while retaining functionality, why not simplify the API altogether, instead of implementing yet another entry point into the application? Just so nobody has to sit down for longer than the duration of a TikTok and design their API properly?
