MCP = uux with streaming JSON (Re: Does it have a declarative reading?)

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Hi,

Amazing turn of events, Model Context Protocol
(MCP) can be viewed as uux using streaming
JSON, so as to obtain message boundaries

even on stdin/stdout:

 > **Newline-delimited JSON**
{"some":"thing\n"}⏎
{"may":{"include":"nested","objects":["and","arrays"]}}⏎
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_streaming#Newline-delimited_JSON

Well if we ignore some SOAP add on, i.e.
JSON-RPC envelopes, but I guess they are not
mandatory on the transport level to

keep this level lean?

Bye
