Yeah, I don't think I was particularly clear in that section.

I don't think MCP is going to go away, but I do think it's unlikely to ever achieve the level of excitement it had in early 2025 again.

If you're not building inside a code execution environment it's a very good option for plugging tools into LLMs, especially across different systems that support the same standard.

But code execution environments are so much more powerful and flexible!

I expect that once we come up with a robust, inexpensive way to run a little Bash environment - I'm still hoping WebAssembly gets us there - there will be much less reason to use MCP even outside of coding agent setups.
