Should AI friendliness be a priority for your projects?

Recently I came up with an idea that if MCP server and AI focused readme is reasonable for your project than it must be done. Take for example my API mocking/prototyping server "Apate" (github.com/rustrum/apate). 1 year ago I never thought about AI as a main consumer of this tool. So it was focused mostly on smart human developers. But now I'm starting to think that developers should not be bothered with such stuff at all. It's up to AI to write mocking API DSL on fly while it's developing main app that should consume this API.
