Don't you have a post about writing Python instead of using MCP? I can't see how MCP is more efficient than giving the LLM a bunch of function signatures and allow it to call them, but maybe I'm not familiar enough with MCP.

Yes, and that works really well. I also tried various attempts of letting agents to write code that exposes MCP tool calls via an in-language API. But it's just really, really hard to work with because MCP tools are generally not in the training set, but normal APIs are.
Yeah, I've always thought that your proposal was much better. I don't know why one of the big companies hasn't released something that standardised on tool-calling via code, hm.
