Good for both development and cost reduction, as the agentic harnesses often allow for much greater amount of token usage per subscription, as opposed to API key which always is per volume.

#82We use MCP when security and tight capability boundaries are important. For example, even GitHub’s fine-grained tokens aren’t always fine-grained enough for our use cases. In those situations, it’s straightforward to build a small MCP server that exposes exactly the operations we want an agent to have access to.
