## Resource

James Wilson delivers his take on the state of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in this solo episode of Risky Business Features. Despite MCP being the technology that made Large Language Models useful and AI Agents possible, the models have shown us they want to use something else instead. They want to use the shell directly, and that is going to have serious cybersecurity consequences.
