model context protocol (MCP) is comin' to town, best get ready.

It runs on HTTP according to docs here: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro

So, I hope it can also run on HTTPS, but then there's the fun times about making sure all the encryption is done right and is made quantum-resistant when those ciphers are ready.

Communicates via JSON over HTTP.

I need to read the rest of the articles now...

That part about increasing denials for services stings, as AI has shown tendencies to amplify human biases evident in historical data. And if that's the training the AI model gets, it'll be aggressive in denying treatment not accidentally, but by design. Likeliest to be denied would be major procedures for people with poor health histories. Least likely denials would be minor procedures, prescriptions, things like that.
