@jspahrsummers and I have been working on this for the last few months at Anthropic. I am happy to answer any questions people might have.

Superb work and super promising! I had wished for a protocol like this.

Is there a recommended resource for building MCP client? From what I've seen it just mentions Claude desktop & co are clients. SDK readme seems to cover it a bit but some examples could be great.

Cody (VS Code plugin) is supporting MCP https://sourcegraph.com/blog/cody-supports-anthropic-model-c...

What about ChatGPT Desktop? Do you think they will add support for this?

I hope so, I use Claude Desktop multiple times a day.

Tangential question: Is there any LLM which is capable of preserving the context through many sessions, so it doesn't have to upload all my context every time?

it's a bit of a hack but the web UI of ChatGPT has a limited amount of memories you can use to customize your interactions with it.

I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be a concept of payments or monetization baked into the protocol. I believe there are some major companies to be built around making data and API actions available to AI Models, either as an intermediary or marketplace or for service providers or data owners directly- and they'd all benefit from a standardised payment model on a per transaction level.

Nobody [who knows what they're doing] wants their LLM API layer controlling anything about how their clients and servers interact though.

Not sure I understand your point. If it's your client / server, you are controlling how they interact, by implementing the necessaries according to the protocol. If you're writing an LSP for a language, you're implementing the necessaries according to the protocol (when to show errors, inlay hints, code fixes, etc.) - it's not deciding on its own.

Even if I could make use of it, I wouldn't, because I don't write proprietary code that only works on one AI Service Provider. I use only LangChain so that all of my code can be used with any LLM.

My app has a simple drop down box where users can pick whatever LLM they want to to use (OpenAI, Perplexity, Gemini, Anthropic, Grok, etc)

However if they've done something worthy of putting into LangChain, then I do hope LangChain steals the idea and incorporates it so that all LLM apps can use it.

If anyone here has an issue with their Claude Desktop app seeing the new MCP tools you've added to your computer, restart it fully. Restarting the Claude Desktop app did NOT work for me, I had to do a full OS restart.

This is great but will be DOA if OpenAI (80% market share) decides to support something else. The industry trend is that everything seems to converge to OpenAI API standard (see also the recent Gemini SDK support for OpenAI API).
