AFAIK subagents inherit the default model since v1.0.64. At least that's the case for me with the Claude Code SDK — not providing a specific model makes subagents use claude-opus-4-1-20250805.

No, MCP does not include any concept of UI (yet). Tool results are usually text only, although there is also the abstraction of an Image (which can be displayed as clients as decide to, e.g. inline).

Thanks. Added RSS, but WC3 shows some errors. I'll move to plain markdown when I have more time, then this will be easier.

>In both cases the application code needs to be modified to account for the new functionality, unless you're also using the LLM to handle the logic which will have very unpredictable results. In the case of MCP, no application code

Unfortunately, MCP is not HATEOAS. It doesn't need to be, because it's not web-like. I wish it were. HATEOAS is great for web-like structures because in each response it not only includes the content, but also all actions the clie

The concept of design-time vs. runtime applies to both clients and servers. I believe you're implying that server developers can focus less on this concept (or sometimes even ignore it) when building a server. This is true. However, th

Similar, but one level higher. Plugins have pre-defined APIs. You code your application against the plugin API and plugin developers do the same. Functionality is being consumed directly through this API — this is level 1. MCP is a meta-pro

This seems to be just implementing tools functionality, no resources or prompts, roots or sampling. I can't blame them. I'm wondering though about progress notifications and pagination. Especially the latter should be supported as

To really understand MCP you need to think about application design in a different way. In traditional applications, you know at design-time which functionality will end up in the final product. For example, you might bundle AI tools into t

Your understanding is on point. > As far as I understand, they would have to somehow pass in either a script to spin up their own server locally (unlikely for your everyday user), or a url to access some live MCP server. This means that

Seems nice because it's stateless and thus simpler. But it still enforces lots of structure (static entry points, memory, etc.). So if MCP reminds me of FTP/Telnet (bi-directional, stateful), SLOP reminds me of Gopher. In any case

I'm not sure I fully understand your scenario. Who will be doing the actual network requests? MCP is basically a trifecta of: 1) MCP-aware LLM applications 2) MCP clients 3) MCP servers The LLM application is key here. It is

It seems like you're describing a scenario where you know at design-time which tools will be included. In that case the benefit of using MCP is less clear. While you usually get tools that work out of the box with MCP (and thus avoid t

TL;DR: IMHO, the MCP enforces too much structure, which makes it vulnerable to disruption by less structured protocols that can evolve according to user needs. The key reason the web won out over Gopher and similar protocols was that the ea

Exactly. An AI-web based on the principles of HATEOAS is the next step, where instead of links, we would have function calls. As you said, HATEOAS requires a generic client that can understand anything at runtime — a client with general in

It's much simpler: MCP allows tools to be added at runtime instead of design-time. That's it. And because this can happen at runtime, the user (NOT the developer) can add arbitrary functionality to the LLM application (while the
