It isn't hard to see why. I had a really hard time wrapping my head around why MCP was necessary and useful but I tried using* one recently and it's remarkable how big the gap between just being able to reply and being able to interact is.

*after forking and modifying it for my use case

yeah current AIs are surprisingly good at figuring out which tools to call and how to call them!

I'm curious to hear which one you forked and found useful? I've looked at the awesome MCP list but was a bit struck by decision paralysis when trying to figure out what to try, so I ended up just not trying any.

We use an outdated on-premise version of Azure DevOps (nee. Team Foundation Server) for our sorry excuse of task management. We also use some horrible plugin for time tracking so our bosses can be sure we're keeping the seat warm for the correct amount of time.

I forked [this existing MCP server for azure devops](https://github.com/Tiberriver256/mcp-server-azure-devops) but I had to make a lot of changes to have it work on our env and I also added some tools for working with that shitty time tracking plugin.
