naivecontextprotocol

# Naive Context Protocol This is a single-page spec for solving the context problem for large language models. ## Why? I realize this is a competing standard to Model Context Protocol, but after spending many hours implementing "simple" MCP servers and following the development of the protocol, I think MCP sucks, so I started making NCP everything I believe, MCP should've been. Feedback & contribution welcome. Goals: - Simple to implement - Use existing standards and best practices - Hostable on a basic HTTP server - Community driven  ## Spec - Use OpenAPI for tool discovery (by default hosted on `/.well-known/ncp-tools.json` but can be configured on the client) - Use JSON Schema for tool definition (With OpenAPI) - Use HTTP for tool calling - Use OpenAPI for defining Authorization `ncp-tools.json` is an OpenAPI specification for the tools that are available on this server and how to call them. ### Resources Within the `ncp-tools.json`, use OpenAPI tags: - `resource_list` to annotate the endpoint for listing resources - `resource_read` to annotate the endpoint for fetching the resource ### Prompts Within the `ncp-tools.json` use OpenAPI tags: - `prompt_list` to annotate the endpoint for listing prompts - `prompt_read` to annotate the endpoint for fetching the prompt ## Contribution Please create a pull request. Tasks: - [ ] Define the input & output for resource endpoints - [ ] Define the input & output for the prompt endpoints - [ ] Add examples to the spec - [ ] Explain the advantages - [ ] Add a section for real-time communication - [ ] Make an example server (hosted) - [ ] Make an MCP server that uses NCP behind the scene to make adoption easier - [ ] Expand on the Authorization - [ ] Create a reference implementation (if needed)
