alt Hacker NewsI don't know. Skill+http endpoint feel way safer, powerful and robust. The problem is usually that the entity offering the endpoint, if the endpoint is ai powered, concur in LLM costs. While via mcp the coding agent is eating that cost, unless you are also the one running the API and so can use the coding plan endpoint to do the ai thing
If I didn't misunderstood you, it doesn't really matter if it's an endpoint or a (remote) mcp, either someone else wants to run llms to provide a service for you or they don't.
A local mcp doesn't come in play because they just couldn't offer the same features in this case.
