Nice job! Do you plan to implement some Evals automation to this too?

This is starting to get old. Both Claude and OpenAi solved the mcp context bloat issue with on-demand tool discovery:

- Claude tool search: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-us...

- GPT tool search: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-tool-sea...


There are very few stateful MCP Servers out there, and the standard is moving towards stateless by default.

What is really making MCP stand out is:

- oauth integration

- generalistic IA assistants adoption. If you want to be inside ChatGPT or Claude, you can't provide a CLI.

I don't see a reason a cli can't provide oauth integration flow. Every single language has an oauth client.

This is actually a valid point. I solved it by using a sane agent harness that doesn't have artificial restrictions, but I understand that some people have limited choices there and that MCP provides some benefits there.

Same story as SOAP, even a bad standard is better than no standard at all and every vendor rolling out their own half-baked solution.


Oauth with mcp is more than just traditional oauth. It allows dynamic client registration among other things, so any mcp client can connect to any mcp server without the developers on either side having to issue client ids, secrets, etc. Obviously a cli could use DCR as well, but afaik nobody really does that, and again, your cli doesn't run in claude or chatgpt.


Stateful at the application layer, not the transport layer. There are tons of stateful apps that run on UDP. You can build state on top of stateless comms.


Wow this is the perfect prompt injection scheme


Would have been even more absurd if code AND PRs were all AI generated by different coding agents


Nothing is stopping that from happening tbh


I think you don't need to add the @, just prompt: Figma, etc... And of course check that you are connected to the app in your settings


You need to either @-mention, or click + below. ChatGPT then prompts to connect.


Will be interesting how difficult the submission process will be, and which apps will get featured by chatgpt.

Maybe an ad based system coming soon?


Chatgpt apps are MCP servers with a UI resource (can be a react component or vanilla js) that gets shown in an frame one the tool is called by chatgpt. So you can't just port an existing app, but you can reuse the same backend Api wrapped inside an mcp server, and some of the components that you need to adapt to openai ux requirements. I practice this means developing an app from scratch.


You'd be surprised! In B2C at least, almost every company we talked to is building a ChatGPT App out ouf fear of missing out this agentic wave like so many missed mobile 15 years ago


If you want to quickly get started, we developed a react-based, type-safe framework to build chatgpt apps: https://github.com/alpic-ai/skybridge
