On the other hand, IP addresses have crossed into the popular lexicon in exactly this manner… it’s common enough to hear people say “what’s my “ip?” or “are there any free ips?” or what are the IPs for x/y/z”.
I agree that it sounds stupid and incorrect, but that doesn’t necessarily mean using MCP as a metonym for MCP server.
Good point. Other examples are Wi-Fi (e.g. "What's your Wi-Fi?"), DNS (e.g. "You should change your DNS") and USB (e.g. "I only have 2 USBs on my laptop"). So who knows, maybe "MCPs" will catch-on.
I always say "The Google" though, so maybe I'm guilty as well of playing fast and loose with the Engrish Rangurage.
