alt Hacker NewsThis is obviously not what it is. If I give you APIGW would you be able to implement an MCP server with full functionality without a large amount of middleware?

If I gave you that could you implement Graphql from scratch without a large amount of middleware? Or are we now saying graphql api:s are not api:s?

Sorry, could you rephrase that?
I’ve implemented an MCP tool calling client for my application, alongside OAuth for it. It was hard but no harder than anything else similar. I implemented a client for interference with the OpenAI API spec for general inference providers, and it was similarly as hard. MCP. SDKs help make it easy; MCP servers are dead simple. Clients are the hard part, IMO.
MCP is basically just an RPC API that uses HTTP and JSON, with some other features useful for AI agents today.
