Ask HN: Do you think a new alternative to MCP would be useful?

4•empire23•8h ago
Hi everyone,

I've been wrestling with MCP, and keep finding the same weaknesses: - the middleware server feels completely unncessary and overly complex - it has too many security flaws due to what feels like a rushed out standard - it's just so poorly undocumented and confusing

I've been thinking of doing a new protocol, but am too aware of that ol' comic (https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/standards_2x.png)

Yet was curious to ask you guys - is there value in trying to build a new scalable, secure version of MCP?

Or should I just stick to the protocol that's currently popular?

JS was designed in a few days. And many years later, people made proposals to it and improved it. A few like TS built on top of it.

Standards that are well designed end up like Java - still flawed and clunky. And built on top as well.

MCP wasn't designed by anyone omniscient. So if you found flaws with it, go ahead and propose something.
