## What Jamie wrote

I’m skeptical of the assertion but it is notable that LLM's have proven already to be very adaptive to interfacing with different protocols. So, will MCP last a long time and do I need to care? My bet is that it will. Its simplicity is a feature not a bug. I think it may be like RSS, around for a very long time and just the glue that makes things work.
