Motivation & Context

Protocol-level MCP compatibility can be mistaken for an Agent Framework-specific integration when reviewing community project submissions. The catalog criteria should make clear that standard MCP servers and gateways belong on their own project sites, consistent with the existing treatment of standard OpenTelemetry and OTLP integrations.

Description & Review Guide

  • What are the major changes? Add an exclusion for MCP servers and gateways that only use Agent Framework's standard MCP client or tool configuration, and remove the existing Quilzo gateway entry from the Python catalog.
  • What is the impact of these changes? Future community submissions based only on standard MCP interoperability will not be listed, and the current catalog is consistent with that rule.
  • What do you want reviewers to focus on? Whether the exclusion clearly distinguishes protocol-level MCP compatibility from a published Agent Framework-specific integration.

Related Issue

N/A - trivial change. This is a small catalog eligibility clarification and removal of an entry that directly matches the clarified exclusion.

Overview

This documentation-only PR distinguishes protocol-level MCP interoperability from published Agent Framework-specific integrations and removes the existing catalog entry that relied on standard MCP tool configuration. The conditional “only require” wording preserves eligibility for genuine framework-specific integrations, while the shared review procedure, catalog structure checks, and Markdown link workflow provide concrete guardrails. No Critical, High, or Medium defect is supported by the changed behavior.

Reviewed the supplied pull-request change set across correctness, security/reliability, architecture, and failure behavior.
No publishable findings remained after source verification for this scope.
