    MCP lead to one good thing though

    a lot of websites that never bothered to provide a REST API are now exposing MCP server because it has become popular, and you can use those servers to write normal automation for yourself, without plugging in any LLM etc

      You have to throw in “load bearing” in the request though to avoid suspicion
