TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
The upcoming MCP specification removes sessions and the initialization handshake, simplifying the protocol.
Per-request context and capability information will move into each call, while several core features are deprecated.
A new server/discover method is being added, and stateful workflows are expected to use explicit handles instead of hidden transport state.
The change makes MCP easier to run as a normal stateless network service, especially for remote servers.
