Eric Siu explains why he stopped using MCP in his AI agent setup, calling it clunky and wasteful with tokens. He prefers APIs and agents instead for better efficiency in building AI systems.
One more thing I'll say too, Neil, is I was a big fan of MCP initially, but I realized it's too clunky over time. And so the agents, from what I've seen, have done a better job with API. They start eating up too many tokens when they're using MCP. So that's why at least my decision is no MCP. But you're gonna say something. Yeah, we're on what, number 4?
