What if You Don't Need MCP at All?

§ why it matters

People will recommend [Playwright MCP](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-mcp) or [Chrome DevTools MCP](https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp) for the use cases I illustrated above. Both are fine, but they need to cover all the bases. Playwright MCP has 21 tools using 13.7k tokens (6.8% of Claude's context). Chrome DevTools MCP has 26 tools using 18.0k tokens (9.0%). That many tools will confuse your agent, especially when combined with other MCP servers and built-in tools.
