> But it does seem that it isn't written by engineers

As far as I can tell, unsurprisingly, the MCP specification was written with the help of LLMs, and seemingly hasn't been carefully reviewed because as you say, a bunch of the terms have straight up wrong definitions.

Using LLMs is entirely fine, but poor review for a protocol definition is ..degenerate. Aren't protocols supposed to be precise?

It was written by one vendor for their own use. It is miles away from an RFC or "standard"

Regardless if it's a RFC, standard or whatever, protocols need to be precise, exact and correct. And I think they wrote MCP with the idea of others using it, otherwise why even make it public if it's just for their own usage?
