Cons
- -Currently in version transition with v2 being pre-alpha and in development, potentially causing breaking changes
- -Complexity may be overkill for simple AI tool integrations that don't need full MCP protocol compliance
- -主要是参考实现和教育示例，不适合直接用于生产环境
- -需要开发者具备 MCP 协议的理解才能有效使用
- -服务器功能相对基础，复杂场景需要自行扩展开发
