Description
Ruby UTCP brings UTCP 1.1 to Ruby, giving apps and AI agents a standard way to discover and call tools over native protocols. It supports 12 transports, including HTTP, CLI, WebSocket, gRPC, GraphQL, MCP and WebRTC, plus streaming, auth, OpenAPI discovery, and CodeMode for programmable multi-tool workflows. Open source and built for the Ruby ecosystem.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a multi-transport protocol library across 12 distinct networking protocols (including WebRTC, gRPC, and WebSockets) with streaming and secure sandboxed code execution requires deep systems and networking expertise.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires native Ruby bindings or pure Ruby clients for gRPC/Protobuf, WebRTC data channels, and WebSockets. It also requires secure multi-tenant execution sandboxes for 'CodeMode' and an architecture handling bi-directional multiplexed streaming across heterogeneous network protocols.
