MCP 2026-07-28 RC: Stateless Transport
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has released a release candidate for its 2026-07-28 specification, introducing a significant rework of its transport layer. This update enables stateless transport, meaning any server in a fleet can handle any request without session-specific routing. Previously, requests were tied to a single server, hindering scalability and recovery; the new design makes each request self-contained, with shared state managed externally when necessary. AI
IMPACT Enhances scalability and resilience for LLM tool integrations, simplifying deployment and recovery.
