As yourself: what kind of tool I would love to have, to accomplish the work I'm asking the LLM agent to do? Often times, what is practical for humans to use, it is for LLMs. And the reply is almost never the kind of things MCP exports.

You interact with REST APIs (analogue of MCP tools) and web pages (analogue of MCP resources) every day.

I'd recommend that you take a peek at MCP prompts and resources spec and understand the purpose that these two serve and how they plug into agent harnesses.

		So you love interacting with web sites sending requests with curl? And if you need the price of an AWS service, you love to guess the service name (querying some other endpoint), then ask some tool the price for it, get JSON back, and so forth? Or you are better served by a small .md file you pre-compiled with the services you use the most, and read from it a couple of lines? > I'd recommend that you take a peek at MCP prompts and resources spec Don't assume that if somebody does not like something they don't know what it is. MCP makes happy developers that need the illusion of "hooking" things into the agent, but it does not make LLMs happy.
