Hmm the Gemini API doesn’t need MCP for tool-use if I understand correctly. It just needs registered functions

- simonw 11mo agoI don't think any of the mainstream vendor APIs require MCP for tool use - they all supported functions (generally defined using a chunk of OpenAPI JSON schema) before the MCP spec gained widespread acceptance and continue to do so today.
- lebovic 11mo agoYep, the Anthropic API supported tool use well before an MCP-related construct was added to the API (MCP connector in May of this year). While it's not an API, Anthropic's Agent SDK does require MCP to use custom tools.
