Hi @elliotxx @ffforest ,
given that MCP draws a whole bunch of parallels from LSP..

Karpor in this case will be analogous to the IDE (mcp-host (https://github.com/mark3labs/mcphost) can be used to build an adapter over karpor so that we can build in a decoupled manner..

The client-server interactions can be categorized into the given interface :
https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/#features

mcp-cli would help with instantiating singular clients for interacting with a server;
whereas mcp-host orchestrates multiple clients' interactions with multiple servers ..

I think mason-lsp-config is doing more and across a larger span of time (from config to managing connections) compared to mcphost; I've used nvim and mason in the past but as black boxes and probably am missing out on the technicalities to answer accurately..

I'm going ahead with mcp-cli for now though..

[rajp152k]

from the docs: a host is like an ide that manages multiple clients

@rajp152k Yeah, It's much clearer now

[rajp152k]

using RAG over https://modelcontextprotocol.io/llms-full.txt with 4o-mini does somewhat good as an MCP Doc bot..
see https://modelcontextprotocol.io/tutorials/building-mcp-with-llms
will be adding some more golang context..

@rajp152k Amazing, this is truly a new era of development paradigm! Learned
