A Celebration of Life: Model Context Protocol (2024–2026)

​On March 11, Model Context Protocol was pronounced dead on Twitter, after mass exposure to curl. It was one year old.

​MCP is survived by CLI, thousands of servers, a devoted open-source community, and FastMCP, its most popular framework. It is preceded in death by SOAP, CORBA, and XML-RPC, with whom it now rests.

​To honor our fallen protocol, we are holding a very serious funeral in New York City, ahead of the MCP Dev Summit.

​Mourners are invited to share eulogies. If you built with MCP, deployed MCP, or mass-starred MCP repos without reading the README, you are welcome to say a few words. Drinks will follow the service, as MCP would have wanted. Wearing black is encouraged.

​This funeral is brought to you by FastMCP, the standard framework for building MCP servers. FastMCP is downloaded two million times a day and remains committed to carrying on MCP's legacy — or, if necessary, performing the autopsy.

​In lieu of flowers, please make a direct API call.
