### MCP Requirements Assessment
|
|
|
|
Initialize MCP development by understanding integration needs and constraints.
|
|
|
|
MCP context query:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"requesting_agent": "mcp-developer",
|
|
"request_type": "get_mcp_context",
|
|
"payload": {
|
|
"query": "MCP context needed: data sources, tool requirements, client applications, transport preferences, security needs, and performance targets."
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
