Lots of MCP hate, and some love, in the comments.

80% of MCPs are thin wrappers over APIs . Yes they stink.

A well written remote OAuth MCP need not stink. Tons of advantages starting with strong security baked in.

I like Cloudflare Code Mode as an MCP pattern. Two tools, search and execute.

1M Opus 4.6 also reduces the penalties of MCP’s context approach. Along with tool search etc.
