MCP vs. UTCP: architecture, ergonomics, and operational trade-offs
- juanviera23 1y agoTL;DR: MCP routes tool calls through wrapper servers; UTCP describes the tool and then calls the tool’s native endpoint directly (HTTP/gRPC/WebSocket/CLI), keeping your existing auth/observability and cutting a hop. Trade-offs: MCP centralizes policy & session semantics; UTCP pushes security to the tool boundary and provenance to manuals. Curious where folks land on DX vs. infra complexity.
