Cause of death: the autopsy

Scored 12 out of 25 the day a popular agent made MCP part of its core. Each customer would need their own API wired up by hand, and agencies and code generators already do it. The verdict instead: the farm's own products should ship their own MCP endpoint as cheap distribution to agents.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
