Ask HN: Is MCP mature enough to use safely?

  • Nope. None of it is. The experimental nature is part of the fun and part of the flex. I think there's little incentive to keep it very stable or safe.

    In general, experimental technology tends to take 3 or so years to solidify. But AI is different... models from 6 months ago are already deprecated. Not a lot has ever solidified in this space.

  • IMO, it's wiser to focus on RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and utilizing vector db's as MCP is essentially an abstraction on top of that idea.

    In essence, MCP is the next esoteric acronym that can be hyped/used to get attention.
