Claude did not say don't use MCP because it pollutes the context

What they said was don't pollute your context with lots of tool defs, from MCP or not. You'll see this same problem if you have 100s of skills, with their names and descriptions chewing up tokens

Their solution is to let the agent search and discover as needed, it's a general concept around tools (mcp, func, code use, skills)
