You write a server, expose some tools, and suddenly your LLM can query your log platform, pull a dashboard, and fire an alert. It feels like the right abstraction. But I’ve watched teams at serious companies burn weeks building MCP integrations for workflows that should have been skills, and build skills for things that genuinely needed MCP.

CrowdStrike shares decreased by 8%, reaching approximately $388.87, while Okta experienced a 9.2% decline and Zscaler saw a 5.5% drop in its stock price. That demonstrates the increasing investor anxiety about AI technology developments that threaten to disrupt established cybersecurity frameworks.
