MCP Is Not Good, Yet

I’ve been diving into MCP the last few days and it feels quite messy.

It took an embarrassingly long time for me to figure out what the difference is between a client, server, and host are. Oh and servers can also be processes that you run locally and clients can spin up the server for you but you need to provide the NPX or UVX command.

The problem it’s supposed to solve is quite real, tools are annoying to build and share so I get that. Looking forward to it getting better but it’s not at the point where any dev can come in and connect things up with a nice dev experience yet.
