Title: HarnessAPI: A Skill-First Framework for Unified Streaming APIs and MCP Tools

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.22733v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Every Python function deployed as an LLM tool must today exist in two forms: an HTTP endpoint for human-facing clients and CI pipelines, and an MCP tool registration for agent runtimes such as Claude and Cursor. These representations share business logic yet diverge in all the surrounding machinery (routing, validation, serialisation, streaming, and schema maintenance), and they drift apart as the underlying code evolves. We present HarnessAPI, a P
