Yes, people conflated progressive disclosure as a method with skills as a particular implementation because skills became the first widely adopted use of progressive disclosure.
But progressive disclosure is just a method that you can apply to lots of things to reduce context bloat. Any time you provide some kind of limited index or search to an AI and then let it expand that based on the circumstances of the request, it's progressive disclosure.
And one of the things you can apply it to is MCPs.

MCP tool search fixes the major issue imo, MCP clears skills/clis in every other way
