Ask HN: Is the future everyone having 100 MCP processes running on their PC?

5•ex-aws-dude•5h ago
Some things I don't understand with MCP vs. CLI

Permissions: you can already scope CLI command permissions

Discoverability: you can already discover commands/arguments with a help flag

Why add a whole other process to the computer?

Do MCP proponents imagine in the future every program on your PC has another MCP process also running?

It seems like adding extra complexity/moving parts for not much benefit.

The MCP can be hosted on the server side, e.g. Atlassian does this now, and with Dynamic Client Registration you can OAuth to the MCP nicely. This is the way forward for MCPs; you can use oauth2-proxy and nginx to e.g. wrap an open source MCP with a layer of SSO and present it to your company if there's a need to host one that isn't run on the provider's infra.
