    AFAIK subagents inherit the default model since v1.0.64. At least that's the case for me with the Claude Code SDK — not providing a specific model makes subagents use claude-opus-4…

    No, MCP does not include any concept of UI (yet). Tool results are usually text only, although there is also the abstraction of an Image (which can be displayed as clients as decid…

    Thanks. Added RSS, but WC3 shows some errors. I'll move to plain markdown when I have more time, then this will be easier.

    Unfortunately, MCP is not HATEOAS. It doesn't need to be, because it's not web-like. I wish it were. HATEOAS is great for web-like structures because in each response it not only i…

    The concept of design-time vs. runtime applies to both clients and servers. I believe you're implying that server developers can focus less on this concept (or sometimes even ignor…

    Similar, but one level higher. Plugins have pre-defined APIs. You code your application against the plugin API and plugin developers do the same. Functionality is being consumed di…

    This seems to be just implementing tools functionality, no resources or prompts, roots or sampling. I can't blame them. I'm wondering though about progress notifications and pagina…

    To really understand MCP you need to think about application design in a different way. In traditional applications, you know at design-time which functionality will end up in the …

    Seems nice because it's stateless and thus simpler. But it still enforces lots of structure (static entry points, memory, etc.). So if MCP reminds me of FTP/Telnet (bi-directional,…

    I'm not sure I fully understand your scenario. Who will be doing the actual network requests? MCP is basically a trifecta of: 1) MCP-aware LLM applications 2) MCP clients 3) MCP se…

    Comment #43312027

    It seems like you're describing a scenario where you know at design-time which tools will be included. In that case the benefit of using MCP is less clear. While you usually get to…

    TL;DR: IMHO, the MCP enforces too much structure, which makes it vulnerable to disruption by less structured protocols that can evolve according to user needs. The key reason the w…

    Exactly. An AI-web based on the principles of HATEOAS is the next step, where instead of links, we would have function calls. As you said, HATEOAS requires a generic client that ca…

    Comment #43303791

    It's much simpler: MCP allows tools to be added at runtime instead of design-time. That's it. And because this can happen at runtime, the user (NOT the developer) can add arbitrary…
