This feels self-selective to how some people work, because it requires using MCP to contribute.

I'm a reasonably heavy AI user, and have some custom skills/MCP servers I'd share, but there is no way in hell I'm connecting to some arbitrary MCP server and connecting my Github account to it. Noppppeeeee.

Agree. I was going to type in my setup, but no way I'm touching the instructions on https://mysetup.ai/connect. Also I don't use Codex, Claude, or Pi.

Fair point, MCP contribution was always optional, although not obvious. I've updated it to make manual contributions outside of MCP more prominent

Maybe I'm missing out, but I've never used a single MCP, ever.

I stopped reading after "Ask them on X", but contribution by MCP just compounds on the issue.
