MCP, server, AI, machine learning
It seems the MCP hype is starting to slow down a bit. After 6–8 months of high enthusiasm, the community is beginning to realize that MCP is not a magic bullet. In some MCP listings, you’ll find more than 10,000 servers doing all sorts of things. Naturally, many of them are useless—spun up by enthusiasts just to see what MCP is all about.
But some of these servers are actually useful.
In this post, I want to share my thoughts on building the most universal MCP server—one that can adapt to almost any use case.
## Quick Recap: What Is MCP?
MCP stands for **Model Context Protocol**

I continue to explore one of my favorite topics: how to make AI agents more independent. This blog is my way of organizing ideas and gradually shaping a clear vision of what this might look like in practice.
### The Dream That Started It All
When large language models (LLMs) and AI chat tools first started delivering truly impressive results, it felt like we were entering a new era of automation. Back then, I believed it wouldn’t be long before we could hand off any intellectual task to an AI—from a single prompt.
I imagined saying something like:

LLM, context, AI, machine learning
Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, and Mistral appear to produce intelligent responses — but the magic lies in how they consume and interpret *context*. Understanding what goes into an LLM's context and how it shapes output is critical for developers, researchers, and product designers working with generative AI.
This post explores the components of context, how it's structured, how it's limited, and how advanced use cases like tool usage and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) interact with it.

## What Is Context in an LLM?
"Context" refers to the entire inpu

I would like to expose one more benefit of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the ability to easily change the transport protocol. There are three different transport protocols available now, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks.
However, if an MCP server is implemented properly using a good SDK, then switching to another transport protocol is easy.
## Quick Recap: What is MCP?
* **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is a new standard for integrating external tools with AI chat applications. For example, you can add Google Search as an MCP server to Claude Desktop, allowing the

In recent months, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has gained a lot of traction as a powerful foundation for building AI assistants. While many developers are familiar with its core request-response flow, there's one feature that I believe remains underappreciated: the ability of MCP servers to send **notifications to clients**.
Let’s quickly recap the typical flow used by most MCP-based assistants:
* A user sends a prompt to the assistant.
* The assistant attaches a list of available tools and forwards the prompt to the LLM.
* The LLM generates a response, possibly requesting the

Recently, I introduced the idea of using MCP (Model Context Protocol) to implement memory for AI chats and assistants. The core concept is to separate the assistant's memory from its core logic, turning it into a dedicated MCP server.
If you're unfamiliar with this approach, I suggest reading my earlier article: [Benefits of Using MCP to Implement AI Chat Memory](/blog/post/benefits-of-using-mcp-to-implement-ai-chat-memory/).
## What Do I Mean by “AI Chat”?
In this context, an "AI Chat" refers to an AI assistant that uses a chat interface, with an LLM (Large Language Model) as it
