Here’s the key thing that isn’t said in the description:
Who runs the MCP servers?
Who controls the tool registry?
Who issues OAuth credentials?
Who defines “secure interactions”?
Because the moment you hear:
OAuth2
centralized tool discovery
unified interfaces
stateful workflows
you should immediately recognize:
This is being designed primarily for centralized environments.
Cloud.
SaaS.
Enterprise.
Platform ecosystems.
Not sovereign edge computing.
MCP assumes:
persistent identity
trusted authorities
permissioned access
session continuity
managed endpoints
That maps perfectly onto:
centralized AI providers
enterprise integrations
platform-controlled agents
It maps poorly onto:
sovereign users
local nodes
decentralized systems
adversarial environments
Sound familiar? 😏
