Initial Surprises: Claude outdated

  1. The Claude seem to be outdated in its knowledge of MCP!
  2. It seems to indicate that only 1 MCP server is allowed
  3. Conversations with LLM is also need to be handled by the MCP server
  4. Not sure of these...
  5. need to validate

Some info from Google

  1. Yes, both Claude MCP hosts (like Claude Desktop) and clients can support multiple MCP servers simultaneously.
  2. MCP Client/Host: Claude Desktop, as an MCP host, can connect to multiple MCP servers at the same time, enabling access to diverse data sources and tools simultaneously.
  3. One-to-one connections: Each MCP client within the host application maintains a one-to-one connection with an individual server.
  4. Server Capabilities: MCP servers advertise their capabilities (fetching files, querying databases, interacting with APIs, etc.), enabling the host to access and use multiple servers concurrently.
  5. In essence: MCP's architecture allows Claude Desktop (or another MCP host) to become a central hub, managing connections and interactions with different MCP servers, thereby expanding the capabilities of the LLM.
