MCP is yet another waste of effort trying to recreate what we had with REST over 20 years ago.

Yes, APIs should be self-documenting. Yes, response data should follow defined schemas that are understandable without deep knowledge of the backend. No, you don't need MCP for this.

I wish Google would have realized, or acknowledged, that XML and proper REST APIs solve both of these use cases rather than killing off XSLT support and presumably helping to coerce the other browsers and WhatWG to do the same.
