#12We have it, a fresh tool that landed recently in prod. Makes it easier to communicate with the app resources. And it's a standardised way for agents to talk to a remote resource, easier for them to understand what is available and how to use it. Read more about mcp tools/resources/prompts.
I don't understand the need to make things easier for a robot. Point them at an API and they can figure it out. Can you explain in more detail what is easier?

#13Caudena released some of its enterprise capabilities within MCP last year, and made them available to the consumer market this year at https://mcp.caudexcatena.com/.
We have received very good feedback from clients across the enterprise and consumer segments, they really like it.

MCP apparently reduces probabilistic failures - aka the common fatal flaw of all of these robots (hallucinations, missing stuff in the API doc, etc).
This makes it a little more interesting to me, knowing those results.
It definitely underlines what we already know about the specific weaknesses of LLMs replies/results.

#16MCP is still the main way I use Cursor with enterprise systems like Glean, Jira, and Port. Other than that, everything, especially you GitHub, is moved to CLIs (+skills as needed)

I think that was a problem 6 months ago, but GPT 5.6 Sol on xhigh doesn't have those sorts of issues. I don't think it'll last. Things are moving fast.

#18I find clis or calling apis directly to be waaay cheaper and faster. The only mcp i use at this point is the jira mcp only because i set it up a while ago and it's been there for a long time now
We used to use the jira mcp, then a jira skill, and now simply use the jira acli. Much cheaper and works fine

#19I hooked up claude code to Jira and Figma.
This is more a condemnation of Jira than anything, but being able to interact with it in natural language in the terminal is a huge relief.
Sadly, it's still limited in some ways.
If it's available, it makes things a tiny bit easier than interfacing directly via api, so it's a nice to have.

yes! I think it's yet another fad that is slowyly dying. I wish my company hadn't spent a whole team working for like 6 months creating an MCP server that no one will ever really use at scale
