You've obviously got some substantive points to make here, which is great, but indignant putdown rhetoric has a destructive effect on the threads. If you could just make your substantive points thoughtfully, we'd appreciate it.
However, it IS also a description of the current state of affairs in the MCP land. The comment threads and proposals in the MCP projects are dominated by the LLM-generated text, so it is almost impossible to keep the full picture in one's mind. LLMs made it possible to create an overwhelming amount of activity with ease.
Moreover, a lot of _code_ for the MCP servers is also AI-generated and has never been used in practice. It's easy to verify. Here are Github search results for the ProxyOAuthServerProvider that is supposed to delegate the authentication to a third-party server: https://github.com/search?q=ProxyOAuthServerProvider&type=co...
There are 215 results at the time of writing, and all but 3 of them are either forks of or LLM-fueled rewrites of the same code from the `modelcontextprotocol` repo. And one of the 3 is mine, and it doesn't quite work.
So yes, "It's just more of AI slop". Sorry. That's just a neutral description of the current state of affairs in the MCP/AI world. And yes, it's absolutely horrifying.
I don't have any problem with this argument* and if you had posted this comment originally I wouldn't have replied. The "absolutely horrifying" bit at the end is a bit beyond the pale, but not, er, absolutely horrifying.
Yes, I'm sorry about that. I really should not write one-line comments without taking time to detail them. I will just stay silent in future in these cases.
> bit beyond the pale
Uhm... Why? It's an honest question. I thought that "horrifying" (as in "inducing horror") is a normal descriptor, not racially/sexually loaded or anything. The AI situation certainly induces real dread in me.
I did say "a bit" :) - I guess because it pattern-matches to internet rhetoric for me. By 'internet rhetoric' I mean something where the largeness/sensationalness of the claim is high and the information content is low. (Oh also, the leading "And yes" is a bit of an internet trope)
This is quite minor though; if it distracts from the main point, I'd say forget it.
I've made some contributions to the typescript-sdk and I'm part of the MCP Contributors server and can confirm, it was all vibecoded and the direction it is going is really not promising.
