Yeah there's no there there when it comes to MCP. It's crazy to me that the world bought into the idea when the "spec" literally boils down to "have your server give the LLM some json". Just illustrates how powerful it is to attach names to things, especially in a hypestorm in which everyone is already frothing at the mouth and reason is hard to come by. Give people some word they can utter to help them sound like they're on the "bleeding edge" and they'll buy into it even if it's totally pointless.
"Have your XYZ give the LLM some JSON" is pretty close to how all tool calling works with or without MCP.
What next you are going to tell me rest and async are implemented in code?! And not just willed into existence by the compiler!
Markdown is for output too.
