I like how the study you linked had to so loosely define "restrictions" as to make their point. Do you really think that's an intelligent way to reason about this? Surely you understand the concept of quality vs quantity, whi

You linked to one part of the spec and just wanted to ignore everything else? That's fine, but then you wouldn't be obeying the standard and wouldn't be an "MCP." So, are you agreeing with me? Respectfully I think I

>, they just teach them how to use the tools and then the LLM calls the APIs directly as any HTTP client would. No. MCP does not do this. Function & tool calling is built into the LLM. MCP is not augmenting this ability in ANY way.

It's not even a standard. It's literally not doing anything here. Not only "can" you rip out MCP there is zero technical reason for any of those things to be an "MCP" in the first place.

Can you do yourself a favor and look at the source code and tell me why you think MCP is necessary here? I mean you just took some examples and went "See MCP!" without any actual understanding of what that code is doing. All of th

Most likely! It's hard to qualify which specific models and version I'm talking about because they're constantly being updated. But the point is that function & tool calling was already built in. If you take a model from
