    My biggest frustration with MCP at the moment is that it has no built-in way of uploading and downloading files. Every argument has to go through the context.

    Sure you can use curl along with it - but many MCP friendly harnesses don't have access to a tool like that. Wish they had added this before moving on to stuff like MCP apps.

      Same here. At the moment I upload the file to s3 and pass the file link, but there should be a way to pass files alongside the chat.
