Unpacking the MCP Base Protocol

  • The Model Context Protocol (MCP) base protocol, rooted in JSON-RPC 2.0, is crucial for reliable client-server communication in apps.
  • The base protocol, as of the latest spec, offers modularity, allowing optional features to be added based on app requirements.
  • It emphasizes separation of concerns, handling core messaging while enabling additional functionalities to be integrated as needed.
  • Core message types within the MCP include requests, responses, and notifications, each following JSON-RPC 2.0 guidelines.
  • Requests initiate actions, responses deliver results or errors, and notifications provide one-way updates.

  • Lifecycle management ensures proper initialization, operation, and shutdown of MCP connections.
  • Authorization features, including OAuth 2.1 support, provide security options for locking down MCP interactions.
  • The MCP base protocol's TypeScript schema serves as a precise reference, ensuring implementation alignment with the specification.
  • Developer-friendly and lightweight, the MCP base protocol offers flexibility and modularity, making it an attractive choice for various projects.
