I don’t agree on the first part. What sort of llm can’t understand a swagger spec? Why do you think it can’t understand this but can understand mcp?

On runtime problems yes maybe we need standardisation.

Well if everyone was already using Swagger then yes it would be a moot point. It seems you do in fact agree that the standardized manifest is important.

    Wait why do you assume any standardisation is required? Just put the spec whether swagger or not

      If everyone had a clear spec with high signal to noise and good documentation that explains in an agent-friendly way how to use all the endpoints while still being parsimonious with tokens and not polluting the context, then yes we wouldn't need MCP...

      Instructing people how to do that amounts to a standard in any case. Might as well specify the request format and authentication while you're at it.
