I put 10 months of work into MCP. Been a Max 20 x subscriber since Day 1. Spent thousands via the API previously. Anthropic randomly banned my account with no warning or explanation last week. I've had to spent significant time and resources moving AWAY from MCP.
Do not get comfy with any of these protocols or companies. They can destroy your workflows and livelihood in an instant.
They invented the protocol? I used Claude Desktop extensively in testing. No other local clients currently interop very well with MCP Tooling. They're more of an afterthought for other clients.
Sure, but it’s not suddenly useless to you because Anthropic restricts you. Those 10 months of building MCP servers are still of use, even if I can only imagine how frustrating losing Claude Max must be (recent x20 subscriber here)
The difference is, they were being used. Now they'll only be of use further down the line, and I have to readjust my daily workflow. Just because. It's highly frustrating and makes me regret putting so much effort in embracing 'the Anthropic way' when a rug pull can come out of nowhere. I wish I'd put that effort into my own tooling instead. Just a fair warning to anyone getting comfortable.

Not even close to true - VSCode and cursor both have MCP support, and INE VSCode’s is great.
Also, I’m curious about your claim to have spent 10 months building MCP servers, as the spec has only been out since the end of November - which is ~7 months.
Reach out to support. Unless you were doing something egregiously against terms of use, I doubt you'll have trouble getting your access restored.
Also- Claude desktop is honestly one of the more minimal implementations of an mcp client with a bunch of missing features. Just search for mcp clients. There are many you can use.
I did. No response. Filled out the form, no response. I've genuinely no idea what I could've done, outside of complain about the palantir xs scripting issue. Quite disheartening. Thanks for the tip!
