Schabert and Peters propose delivering Standard Operating Procedure steps one at a time via the Model Context Protocol, rather than embedding the full SOP in the system prompt.

The authors replaced the standard prompt-based delivery of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) with a step-level mechanism using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
