MCP is not that hard to understand why does it keep getting the wackiest comparison?

- chrislloyd 2y agoMCPs goal is to standardize the transfer of application context and tool definitions to a client (let’s ignore prompts for the moment). That’s the same goal as Hypertext. In HTML, context is <p>, <img/> etc. and “tools” are <form>, <a> and <button>s. Instead of separating the two (like in MCP) - it’s all included in the same document. I’ve used MCP quite a bit but perhaps I’m misunderstanding something? Happy to hear why you think it’s “wacky”.
