However, many modern AI tools now support skill-based architectures that provide similar functionality without server overhead.\n\n## Concerns\n\n- MCP requires maintaining HTTP server lifecycle\n- Skills can achieve similar tool-calling with less complexity\n- Long-term maintenance burden\n\n## Discussion Points\n\n1. Are there MCP-specific features that skills cannot replace?\n2. How many users actively rely on MCP integration?\n3. Would a hybrid or migration path make sense?\n\nNot suggesting immediate removal - just want to discuss the long-term architecture direction.\n\n---\n\nContact: ocarina1024@gmail.com","author":{"url":"https://github.com/flashpoint493","@type":"Person","name":"flashpoint493"},"datePublished":"2026-01-14T05:28:57.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/11/NodeToCode/issues/11"}
