    abstract =  {The application of MCP in the network management field is meant to refactor network management operation and network capabilities as tools and provide more agile and extensible architecture to expose these AI integration capabilities. This document discusses the applicability of MCP to the network management plane in the IP network that utilizes IETF technologies. It explores MCP for network exposure, multiple MCP server discovery, communication between Network Elements or between the Network element and the Network Controller/Network Gateway.},
