Having to sign up to browse available MCPs stopped me dead in my tracks and made me close the tab. I won't be the only one. Perhaps consider allowing people to browse more of the site before you try to force a signup on them?

hey thanks for the feedback, we do not really offer a "set" of pre made MCPs that we could show pre signup, unfortunately our platform requires you to deploy something to use it - we try to give an overview of all the features in our "Platform" section in the navbar on top

On your website under "Thousands of dev-teams are building with mcp-use" you include a quote from your CTO (@enri). If thousands of teams are using the product, I would think you could omit this post.

I think you have a really neat product here, but these types of testimonials do you more harm than good; they sour my opinion of all other testimonials on your site. I shouldn't have to play detective.

MCP is a deadend. CLI use is the future.

MCP is great for docs and stuff, also saves tokens and reduces errors if you have something complicated you're abstracting over - agents have old/inaccurate knowledge and it's nice to have up to date docs: https://awslabs.github.io/mcp/servers/aws-documentation-mcp-... - geting agents to do apple builds and stuff is much easier with: https://github.com/getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP - also for searching stuff like pdfs/epub…

MCP makes token use WORSE, not better.

stopped using mcp and mostly using skills now. can't understand what this product does or how it could help me.

To me that’s a bit like saying I started using shell scripts and stopped calling APIs - skills are playbooks, mcps are ‘documented APIs’ for the ai to call.

Yes I can’t figure out exactly what it does…
