How did you think MCP was going to solve the issue of a large number of outdated dependencies?

Those large number of outdated dependencies are in the LLM "index" which can't be rapidly refreshed because of the training costs.

MCP would allow it to instead get this information at run-time from language servers, dependency repositories etc. But it hasn't proven to be effective.
