This week’s edition of my @LinkedIn newsletter shines a light on the impact of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) across multiple computing eras—leading right up to today. We’ve arrived at a moment where loose coupling principles are cool (and super useful) again. 🔗 www.linkedin.com/pulse/model-...

Historically, software quality has been weakened by the dilution that occurs as conceptual ideas are handed off from specification → coding → QA → documentation—each step involving people with different skill sets, incentives, and interpretations. A new era begins, where that gap can finally close.

On the client side, OPAL can bind to operations (tools) published by any MCP server that supports Streamable HTTP or Server-Sent Events (SSE). On the server side, its operations (tools) are exposed to any MCP-compliant client.
