I see this ranting against MCP all the time, and I don't get it, maybe I'm missing something. I'm currently using an MCP in Cursor to give agents read-only access to my staging and prod databases, as well as BugSnag's MCP so it can look up errors that happen in those environments. It works great. What should I be using for this if not MCP?

Make a CLI tool for it, of course

agent skills, or use claude code to iteratively condense an MCP you want to use into only its most essential tools for your workflow
