    You can find more information on some design questions like these in https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification , which is a much more "implementors" focused guide than the…

    We're still in the process of thinking through and fleshing out full details for remote MCP connections. This is definitely a good idea to include in the mix!

    Definitely not geolocked! Please try the debugging guide here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/debugging

    There's a debugging guide here that may be helpful: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/debugging

    Your concerns are very valid. This is partly why right now, in Claude Desktop, it's not possible to grant permission permanently. The most you can do is "Allow for this chat," whic…

    We definitely hope this will solve the NxM problem. On tools specifically, we went back and forth about whether the other primitives of MCP ultimately just reduce to tool use, but …

    Our thinking is that prompts will generally be a user initiated feature of some kind. These docs go into a bit more detail: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/prompts ht…

    This is a great idea! There's also the matter of requests' result types not being automatically inferred in the SDK right now, which would be great to fix. Could I convince you to …

    We do want to improve this over time, just trying to find the right balance between usability and security. Although MCP is powerful and we hope it'll really unlock a lot of potent…

    We're definitely interested in extending MCP to cover remote connections as well. Both SDKs already support an SSE transport with that in mind: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs…

    You can read how we're implementing versioning here: https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/basic/ver... It's not exactly immutable, but any backwards incompatible chan…

    Sorry, I think that's just the nav on those docs being confusing (particularly on mobile). You can see the spec here: https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/

    Probably, yes! You could imagine building an MCP server (integration) for a particular piece of legacy software, and inside that server, you could employ Computer Use to actually u…
