Pros
  • Vendor-neutral standard backed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and major IDE vendors
  • Huge and growing library of community-built servers for common tools and data sources
  • Official SDKs in TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, Swift, C#, and Rust
  • Works with both local stdio and remote HTTP/SSE transports
  • Decouples tool integration from any specific model or host
  • Folders, search, and prompt library that the native ChatGPT UI lacks
  • Bulk export to PDF, Markdown, JSON, and TXT
  • Prompt queue lets you chain sequential prompts unattended
  • Conversation tree map makes branched chats navigable
  • Mature with 100K+ users and active development
Cons
  • It's a protocol, not a product — you still need a client and servers to do anything useful
  • Spec and SDKs still evolve quickly; expect occasional breaking changes
  • Auth, sandboxing, and permissioning are largely left to the implementer
  • Discovery and trust of third-party servers is still an unsolved UX problem
  • Only works with ChatGPT, not Claude or Gemini
  • Breaks occasionally when OpenAI ships UI changes
  • Some advanced features gated behind Pro
  • Browser extension means desktop Chrome/Edge only
