MCP Transport

Version: 2025-07-01

MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows any LLM client to manage agents directly.

Mapping

OAP Concept	MCP Concept
Agent descriptors	MCP resources (list, read state)
Agent management	MCP tools (register, remove, pause, resume)
Event delivery	MCP tools
Command observation	MCP tools
Execution traces	MCP resources

Result

Any LLM client (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, Ollama) becomes a management UI for OAP agents.

Transport Configuration

"mcp": {
  "transport": "stdio",
  "server": "oap-mcp"
}

MCP transport is optional — REST is the baseline. MCP is declared in the /.well-known/oap manifest only if the endpoint supports it.
