MCP Tool Responses Can Be More Than Text
WirelessLife · x · 2026-07-16
This post discusses the next evolution of MCP: tool responses shouldn't be limited to just text.
The author suggests that an MCP tool could return the following in a single call:
- Image binaries
- Metadata
- Interactive applications
The model could then inspect the assets, reason based on the content, and present the results interactively. The post concludes by asking: if tools could return responses like this, how would you design your apps?
