FastMCP author here -- (maybe surprisingly) I agree with many of the observations here.

FastMCP exists because I found the original spec and SDK confusing and complicated. It continues to exist because it turns out there's great utility in curating an agent-native API, especially when so many great dev tools have adopted this client interface.

But the spec is still so young and at such risk of being co-opted by hype (positive and negative). I would invite everyone to participate constructively in improving it.

Lastly: this article is plainly AI generated, as `from mcp import tool` is completely hallucinated. Just some food for thought for the "AI should be able to figure out my complex REST API" crowd that seems well represented here.

    I would invite everyone to participate constructively in improving it.

How do you recommend that I participate? I've written a few MCP servers (based on FastMCP - great work!), and contributed one to Anthropic's list. How do I actually participate in maintaining or improving the core MCP spec? I was under the impression that it was being driven by Anthropic.

IIRC they talk about it here

TL;DR If you want to engage with the MCP protocol you can do so here. https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol

You're right, that snippet was ai-generated and I forgot to action one of my todos to fix that snippet. This was negligent on my part, and I hope you'll forgive me.

We're fixing that right now, thank you for the correction!

"Action" is a noun.

You may be interested in the verb "to act". If you are an AI, you must have been trained on some sad corporate dataset.

Is this response also ai-generated?

I guess I can't pass the turing test and this is life now.
