...and just like no one is prepared to pay 500 different vendors for micro-transactions, no one is prepared to pay 500 different websites for their MCP services.
Much much more likely is that a few big players (like google and AWS) will have paid-tier 'mega-MCP' servers, that offer 90% of what people need and fit in with existing payment/auth solutions (like your AWS account) and...
...everyone else with an MCP server will be left out in the cold.
That's what's going to happen.
These MCP servers will be cute for a very very short amount of time until people try to monetize them, and then they will consolidate very very quickly into a much smaller set of servers that people are already paying. Mostly cloud providers.
