MCP's tool calling interface is being used by developers to enhance creativity, but it can lead to performance issues and complex workflows.
Tools in MCP inject information into the model's context through tool descriptions and results, offering flexibility but consuming context space.
A case study showed that using multiple tools can slow down response times and increase token usage, suggesting consolidation or smarter design.
Utilizing smarter resource injection, better prompting with resources, subscribable and sampled resources, and designing with URI schemes can enhance the efficiency and scalability of MCP-based applications.
