Initial Surprises: Claude outdated
- The Claude seem to be outdated in its knowledge of MCP!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

Some info from Google
- Yes, both Claude MCP hosts (like Claude Desktop) and clients can support multiple MCP servers simultaneously.
- 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.
- One-to-one connections: Each MCP client within the host application maintains a one-to-one connection with an individual server.
- 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.
- 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.

This is the source code for mcp cli
satya - 3/16/2025, 9:03:07 AM
Briefly...
- wish they documented this crap better in human readable form
- It is kind of a command line interface
- Seem to use a tool like "typer" (not sure what that is) to do this
- at least a place to look for available commands
- Look for @command annotations on how it does this
