Lecture 6 diagram assets

model-context-protocol.svg is the editable source for the MCP architecture on slide 9. model-context-protocol.pdf is its vector export used by pdfLaTeX. The SVG keeps editable text labels and shapes rather than embedding a bitmap.

The layout adapts IBM’s What is Model Context Protocol?. The original model-context-protocol.png is retained for provenance. The adaptation replaces the old HTTP+SSE transport labels with Streamable HTTP, following the official MCP Transports specification. Local stdio connections are retained. Slide source credit names both sources.

After editing the SVG, export it as PDF in an SVG editor, or use librsvg’s CLI from the repository root:

rsvg-convert --format=pdf \
  --output=lecture/lec_6/asset/model-context-protocol.pdf \
  lecture/lec_6/asset/model-context-protocol.svg

The conversion utility is an optional system tool; normal slide builds use the committed PDF and require no new Python dependency. Rebuild lecture_6.pdf with the command in the lecture README after updating the vector export.

bounded-agent-loop.svg is original course artwork used on the course website.
