  first-class design concern. Model Context Protocols (MCPs) are emerging a
 s a powerful abstraction for embedding structured context across engineeri
 ng workflows — from test infrastructure to deployment pipelines\, platfo

  full-stack applications and distributed systems. He holds a Master’s de
