It still boggles my mind that Anthropic would invent the MCP protocol but not fully implement it.

Especially when fully implementing it (prompts, resources, tools) is easily done in harnesses that don’t ship with MCP but allow good extension / modification like Pi.

Claude not being able to see its own usage or self invoke slash commands is also very frustrating.
