Hosts vs. Clients

[gleachkr]

Describe the bug

The list of example clients might actually be a list of example hosts?

To Reproduce

Examine:

https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients

Examine:

https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/architecture

Note that Claude Desktop is described as a Host in contrast to a Client in the second document, but is listed as a Client in the first.

Expected behavior

Given how hosts are are described, I wonder if most of the example clients are actually example hosts. This could be a little clearer?

Everything in that list is a client, but is not necessarily a host app. For example, Superinterface is a framework that isn't its own "host app", but as a framework provides MCP client capabilities.
