MCP is tool calling with continued context/rich context, tool calling alone will PROBABLY die after single call whereas MCP keeps continuity by design (You can use MCP for tool calling but not vice versa). Hope this help you understand.
no still doesn't make sense lmao. you call api and get output, no?
