MCP (Model Context Protocol) has gained significant attention as a standard for LLMs to interact with the world, but the author criticizes its implementation for lacking mature engineering practices, poor documentation, and questionable design choices. The article argues that the transport methods, particularly HTTP and SSE, are problematic and suggests that a more straightforward approach using WebSockets would be preferable.

asyncmcp is an implementation of the MCP protocol that enhances asynchronous communication between clients and servers by utilizing various transport layers like AWS SQS, webhooks, and hybrid methods. It allows for non-blocking requests by directing them to internal queues, facilitating efficient processing without the need for immediate responses. The project offers comprehensive documentation, installation guides, and examples for developers looking to integrate async capabilities into their applications.
