MCP is great for docs and stuff, also saves tokens and reduces errors if you have something complicated you're abstracting over
- agents have old/inaccurate knowledge and it's nice to have up to date docs: https://awslabs.github.io/mcp/servers/aws-documentation-mcp-...
- geting agents to do apple builds and stuff is much easier with: https://github.com/getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP
- also for searching stuff like pdfs/epubs it's nice to have a place that's easy/fast for an agent to go to: https://github.com/nburns/doc-search-mcp
none of these strictly requrie mcp, but it is still a useful abstraction/shared convention
MCP makes token use WORSE, not better.
