Merged
Conversation
Record the proposed decision that skills served over MCP MUST function without a local filesystem, while hosts MAY materialize resources as an optimization, with unified resolution semantics required either way.

Lets leave this one open until 2026-04-29 (following 10-day lazy consensus per working group governance, in case anyone has any late breaking comments). |

@modelcontextprotocol/skills-over-mcp-ig I think we're good to merge this one since the feedback so far has been to formalize this detail, just need an approval on it. Thanks! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this is likely the right call, the limitations are real, but the justification for this embracing these limitations is reasonable, assumption of local code execution is a concerning pattern.

Summary
Note
The SEP has included the "Hosts: Unified Treatment" section and filesystem-parity relative-path resolution since PR #69's first commit (2026-03-17). This ADR formalizes a stance the draft SEP has carried for ~a month, promoting the semantic requirement from SHOULD to MUST.
