Right but MCP is a brand new protocol which is at its core JSON-RPC formatted messages and a few verbs. It doesn't actually do much. The main things are tool definitions which is just a JSON schema describing a function call and resources which a is a wisp of a filesystem.
- tomashubelbauer 1y agoFair, thought I have a feeling MCP will actually grow to do much more. I wouldn't disagree with the sentiment that it is too bloated too soon, but I also feel like it is destined to be bloated, because the technology it is targeting is sort of a moving target itself. Of course with proper versioning, this is easeable, deprecate stuff that turned out to be the wrong turn and cut major versions or introduce extensions to the protocol when new stuff is on the scene, but then you're liable to find yourself in an XMPP-style situation where no one implements the standard and extensions wholly, because it is so complex.
