Yes, MCP taking the form of 'skill' because MCP serves no purpose.
The concept of 'mcp server' is a brittle abstraction that need not exist.
A 'skill' is utterly superior in every sense: a 'right sized abstraction for whatever it is you're trying to do' - that can include cli / rest - and other key bits of information.
You realize that not every user of agents uses them like Claude or Codex on your local CLI right? MCP is the standard for cloud agents. How do you get a cloud agent working in an ephemeral container access to skills? The answer is MCP.
