You do know MCPs are loaded on demand same as skills now right? The only place where sometimes it still uses too much context is if you have too many MCPs (same issue with skills) or some MCP is poorly designed and responds with huge description or MCP calls respond with way too much info, but skills can have this issue as well.

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.
