      MCP is not REST API
    • og:description
      This blog post argues against simply wrapping REST APIs with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP, crucial for AI agents, should be designed as action oriented Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) rather than resource-centric REST. It explains that RPC's focus on actions is better suited for AI Engineering and Machine Learning Engineering, preventing inefficiencies and complexity when agents interact with services. The post highlights how using REST with MCP can lead to lost semantic meaning, error handling issues, and chatty interactions, advocating for dedicated RPC-style services.
