MCP is becoming stateless in one of the largest changes to the protocol since its launch.
This change simplifies the deployment of robust servers, making MCP ready for the next wave of scaled usage driven by agents and use cases like MCP Apps.
This session led by members of the Transports Working Group: - Explores the upcoming changes - and sharing real data from Google and Hugging Face on the motivation behind them. - Details the latest approaches on handling serverless Elicitation, Sampling and Sessions. - Introduces the application and infrastructure patterns that can take advantage of the stateless protocol.
We'll also update on the latest roadmap status and expected migration timelines and approach
