MCP Is Dead

# Summary The article argues that MCP (Model Context Protocol) is impractical for production use because it consumes excessive context tokens (10.5% of Claude's 200K token window just for tool definitions), suffers from reliability issues due to its multi-process architecture that causes slowdowns and failures, and redundantly overlaps with existing CLI and API tools that are already faster and more efficient. The author demonstrates that using MCP costs approximately 65x more tokens than calling the Linear CLI directly for the same task.
