The questions I'd ask:

    - Do you work in a team context of 10+ engineers?
    - Do you all use different agent harnesses?
    - Do you need to support the same behavior in ephemeral runtimes (GH Agents in Actions)?
    - Do you need to share common "canonical" docs across multiple repos?
    - Is it your objective to ensure a higher baseline of quality and output across the eng org?
    - Would your workload benefit from telemetry and visibility into tool activation?
If none of those apply, then it's not for you. Server hosted MCP over streamable HTTP benefits orgs and teams and has virtually no benefit for individuals.

What I want to know is what's the difference between a remote mcp and an api with an openapi.json endpoint for self-discovery? It's just as centralized

MCP is useful for the above. I work on my own more often than not and the utility of MCP goes far beyond the above. (see my other comment above).
