Hmm the Gemini API doesn’t need MCP for tool-use if I understand correctly. It just needs registered functions
I don't think any of the mainstream vendor APIs require MCP for tool use - they all supported functions (generally defined using a chunk of OpenAPI JSON schema) before the MCP spec gained widespread acceptance and continue to do so today.
