The Design of MCP Servers
summary
Defines MCP as the Model Context Protocol that standardizes tool, prompt and readonly resource interfaces over JSON‑RPC HTTP or stdio, demonstrates a running MCP server used by Postman and VS Code agents, shows JSON Schema everywhere for inputs and that MCP SDKs provide out‑of‑the‑box validation, reports a validation tool that auto‑fixes OpenAPI mismatches but needs iterative revalidation to complete, warns about context and token limits and recommends back end for AI redesign and strict bearer token security.
