Centering an interview around MCP and "building an agent" which often means "write a prompt and make HTTP calls to some LLM host service" is incredibly stupid unless that is what the product the company produces is.

MCP is a tool and may only be minor in terms of relevance to a position. If I use tools that use MCP but our actual business is about something else, the interview should be about what the company actually does.

Your arrogance and presumptions about the future don't make you look smart when you are so likely to be wrong. Enumerating enough predictions until one of them is right is not prescient, it's bullshit.
