You think nobody's ever going to publish a slight different standard to Anthropic's MCP that is also primarily intended for LLMs?

Why would they? I'm sure the "Enterprise" folks are putting together some working group to develop ANSI-xyzzy standard for Enterprise operability which will never see the light of day.
