Abstract

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a JSON-RPC 2.0 framework for interaction between AI applications and external context sources. This document specifies minimal extensions that allow network equipment (routers, switches, etc.) to act as MCP servers while controllers act as MCP clients. New capability tokens, tools, resources, prompts, and error codes are defined without breaking existing MCP implementations.
