I don’t get your point. Obviously some spec is needed but why does it have to be MCP?
if I want my api to work with an llm id create a spec with swagger. But why do I have to go with mcp? What is it adding additionally that didn’t exist in other spec?
You can ask an AI agent that question and get a very comprehensive answer. It would describe things like the benefits of adding a wire protocol, having persistent connections with SSE, not being coupled to HTTP, dynamic discovery and lazy loading, a simplified schema, less context window consumption, etc.
