100% agree. I've been building MCPs that enable Claude (my agent of choice to have voice conversations with). These hook into my home maintenance system (https://homemaintlist.com) and workout tracking system (https://tallyup.codewalkers.net) plus several private mcp servers I've made to expose Claude to specific services. These all allow me to just have conversations with Claude and have all these very specific things available and take action on them.

I do agree with you and was not aware of those reasons before, thanks for clarifying.

Excellent points. We still need to employ good cybersecurity principles when granting AI access to tools and resources. Let’s not throw out everything learned in the last three decades. Keep the access narrow in scope and targeted.

fwiw, I’ve only done cli tools for agents to install in their own sandboxes, not access on remote machines.

This was just to avoid MCP infra, but the newer stateless protocol makes that much more trivial.
