For large APIs, converting every endpoint into a single MCP server can overwhelm AI clients with too many similar or irrelevant tools. This makes it difficult for AI to select the correct function, leading to errors and inefficiency. The recommended solution is to design focused capability surfaces by grouping endpoints based on user workflows, such as customer support or billing, rather than simply exposing all available API functions. Creating separate, specialized MCP servers for distinct workflows enhances usability, simplifies permissions, and improves the AI's ability to accurately perform tasks. AI
