Human Approval Pauses: Model Context Protocol (MCP) vs Direct — 1 Choice

Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).

In 2026, compare MCP elicitation with direct callbacks for nested human approval pauses across multiple clients, and learn when direct integration is the better choice.
