dcp vs agentql-mcp

dcp: DCP is a compact protocol for LLM agents to control physical devices, using a static intent table and CBOR wire format. It is validated on ESP32 hardware and complements MCP by translating DCP ↔ MCP for zero-config integration with MCP hosts. The protocol emphasizes safety through intent-level commands and capability tokens.; agentql-mcp: AgentQL MCP Server integrates AgentQL's data extraction capabilities into the Model Context Protocol. It allows AI assistants like Claude, VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf to extract structured data from web pages using natural language prompts. Setup requires npm installation and an API key from AgentQL.
