See my point #2. There are already standards to describe APIs.

This is easy to see when you think in terms of a developer. The natural way to adapt an existing REST API into an MCP server while keeping the two synchronized is to simply write a basic translation tool that takes your OpenAPI spec and turns it into an MCP manifest, mapping each HTTP endpoint to an MCP method, and copying over all the request / response type signatures and descriptions for everything. Then, all of the sudden, it hits you: there is no need for this translation layer.
