Technical debate: Model Context Protocol connectors insufficient as full context layer for agents

Unblocked argues that wiring agents to sources via Model Context Protocol connectors grants access but not understanding, as each connector returns documents from one silo, requiring agents to assemble cross-source answers at inference time. A dedicated context engine performing server-side synthesis can achieve 83% faster task completion at roughly 40% of token cost, the article argues.
