MCP & Tooling
Tier 5
mcp-agentic-framework
Summary
An MCP-based communication framework enabling multiple AI agents to collaborate through asynchronous messaging, built with TDD and functional programming principles - a clean, tested reference for MCP server design.
Key Takeaways
- Async agent-to-agent messaging over MCP primitives
- TDD applied to MCP servers: tools are testable functions
Reliability Note
Community framework with tests; good reference quality.

Testing MCP Tools
Bring TDD discipline to MCP servers: unit-test handlers, protocol-test the surface, and contract-test against a real host.
01Separate logic from protocol glue
02Write the handler unit suite
03Add protocol and contract layers

Tool Permissioning Tiers
Classify tools by risk and enforce tiered permissions: auto-allow, session-allow, always-ask, and never - enforced in the harness.
01Classify the toolset by risk
02Enforce tiers in dispatch
03Implement session grants and revocation
