    MCP Features I Didn't Cover

    There are several MCP features that I chose not to cover in this tutorial.

    These features include:

    • Resources - the ability for MCP servers to expose data and content for MCP clients to read.
    • Sampling - allows the MCP server to request completions from the LLM inside the MCP host.

    The reason I didn't cover them is that they are not widely supported among the current generation of MCP clients - even among Anthropic's own applications, like Claude Desktop and Claude Code.

    Once these parts of the specification have greater real-world utility, I'll cover them in more depth.

    But for now, I'm happy with tools and prompts as core MCP primitives.
