- I think it is now possible to do one curl to call an MCP tool, instead of three previously.
I tried MCP before but the models still needed a lot of hand-holding to be able to use the MCP tools effectively, and I found that just giving them REST endpoints with good examples and descriptions in the OpenAPI/Swagger docs seems to be a better approach. They can explore the REST endpoints easily with curl to get a hang of them.
- > "Claude now lists over 950 MCP servers in the connectors directory, used by millions of people every day. This year we shipped support for new protocol extensions alongside features that make MCP easier to build on and deploy"
Where are all these MCP servers? I feel like if I explore the directory, I see the same subset over and over.
Separately, would love to see more love from Anthropic for MCPB. I think this is an exciting and underutilized variation and have been enjoying building MCPB servers.
