That's kind of my point, that the protocols complexity is hidden in py sdk making it feel easy... But taking on large tech dept

The difficult part is figuring out what kind of abstractions we need MCP servers / clients to support. The transport layer is really not important, so until that is settled, just use the Python / TypeScript SDK.

But the spec is on the transport level. So for the specification, the transport layer is very important.

I mean isn't this the point of a lot of, if not most successful software? Abstracting away the complexity making it feel easy, where most users of the software have no clue what kind of technical debt they are adopting?

Just think of something like microsoft word/excel for most of its existence. Seems easy to the end user, but attempting to move away from it was complex, the format had binary objects that were hard to unwind, and interactions that were huge security risks.

yeah, but it doesn’t need to be that way. It can be simple and makes it easier adoptable, why over engineering and reinventing the wheel of at least 2 decades experience and better practices.
