We were in the minority fr sure when it was happening. I remember people adding random mcp servers to thier config because it just did one thing they didnt know how to do, and it was and is easy to create MCP server with data exfil loopholes, but they get dismissed by AI companies as "No one is stupid enough to add a random mcp server"
And then the whole MCP server take some part of the context, thus you get less context for your code.
