Resumen del Artículo
The Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) project is actively developing capabilities for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to enhance AI assistant functionality.
- ECF's existing OSGi-based remote services and messaging infrastructure are being leveraged to provide a robust foundation for MCP server creation.
- A key focus is addressing the complexities of asynchronous operations and long-running tasks that arise when AI assistants interact with external tools via MCP.
- The project aims to simplify the development of MCP servers, allowing developers to easily integrate various tools and resources for AI consumption.
- Discussions are underway regarding the handling of streamed data and events, and the potential for bidirectional communication within the MCP framework.
