Not only that, but the whole section on "Consider these scenarios" simply described the same thing as an API each time, but added words like "smoothly" and "richer" to make it sound different.

I honestly think most of the article was written by an LLM.

The structure seems very LLM-ish. And the details are blurry:

> Two-way communication: MCP supports persistent, real-time two-way communication - similar to WebSockets. The AI model can both retrieve information and trigger actions dynamically".

This is not what two-way communication means.
