The crazy thing with the anti-MCP wave to me could be boiled down to "you don't like it? Then don't use it."
It's like people hate it so much they forget how easy it is to spin one of these up; it's not like I spent weeks and weeks working on this.
I spun up an MCP server for a personal finance app I've been working on. OAuth with personal tokens and all the tools I added- guess how long it took me? Like 2 hours maybe. Some people find it useful, including me, and some don't. That's okay!
I think the concern is less over this specific feature and more about what this means for the project roadmap, now that they've chosen the route of built-in rather than first-party extensions.
Add in the context that they're also building their own inference provider[1], and there's certainly a non-zero risk that the project trends away from the barebones platform to build on that people signed up for.
