Hosting COM Servers with an MCP Server
Brief
When the Model Context Protocol (MCP) came out it reminded me of the Common Object Model (COM) from Microsoft.
COM has been around for decades and it’s used for programming, scripting, sharing of functionality at a binary/object level across languages and hosts. Via DCOM all of this can even be done remotely, and well, it’s also useful for red teaming. A lot of software on Windows was/is implemented as COM objects , including Microsoft Office.
