While that is true, the overarching point is that it fundamentally still is, just a story.
You're just describing real world consequences, precisely because humans/societies believe in that story and enforce it.
> modern MCP clients do smart tool search that obviates the entire "I am sending the full list of tools back and forth" mode of operation
This has always surprised me as this always comes up in MCP discussions.
To me, it just seem like a matter of updating the protocol to not have that context hungry behaviour. Doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem technically.
Glad you say it has already been addressed. Was the protocol itself updated to reflect that? Or are you just referring to off-spec implementations?
That’s exactly what it is in essence.
The MCP protocol simply doesn’t have any mechanism specifications (yet) for not loading tools completely in the context.
There’s nothing really strange about it. It’s just a protocol update issue.
The MCP standard will and has to evolve to address this context issue. It’s a no brainer and this is a perfect example of the direction mcp is going / will go.
There’s fundamentally nothing wrong, it’s just protocols updates that have to occur.
In also interested in n8n. From what I gathered it’s a everything baked in app, not a lib. Meaning that unless you re doing upstream contributions you don’t actually code anything. Just manage big configs. How are you planning to use this toolkit with it?
I don't really see why they had to create a different concept. Maybe makes sense "marketing-wise" for their chat UI, but in Claude Code? Especially when CLAUDE.md is a thing?
I'm super confused as well.
This seems like exactly that, just some default prompt injections to chose from. I guess I kinda understand them in the context of their claude chat UI product.
I never understand why there's always one of the top comment on every Go post being derogatory and mentioning Rust. It never fails.
It starts to feel like a weird mix of defensiveness and superiority complex.
Assuming you're using GitHub or similar, make pushing branches and creating PRs part of their prompts, and review on the GitHub app or equivalent?
Seem like an orthogonal problem to those LLMs tools.
