MCP promised to make agentic coding fast and powerful, instead it overwhelmed the senses of the LLMs that we trusted to write code for us. Even Anthropic took notice that context is the modern day coding juice that we are all dependent on. Their solution farm the whole thing out to typescript and write a bunch of integration code to build the whole infrastructure from scratch. Instead, I had Claude write a custom programming language, the Simple Language for Orchestrating Prompts or SLOP and shoved it into an MCP Turducken to call and automate other MCPs.
Reading the Anthropic paper on the issue https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/code-execution-with-mcp and having written my own chat apps with the same architecture, I realized that making Javascript or Python safe for deployment anywhere was going to be a huge task that everyone is eventually going to bear the burden of. Instead I figured how about creating a simple language that solves this one problem and SLOP was born.
I quickly realized that the search and metadata services were the clear winners when Claude code just picked up searching for tools and calling them through the generic interface without a hitch.
Please give it a try: https://github.com/standardbeagle/slop-mcp
I've got 318 tools installed
and Claude Code is cranking along fine without issue.
