The Agentic AI Foundation, a Linux Foundation directed fund, has released a major update to MCP, marking its largest release to date. This update, finalized on September 28, 2026, introduces a stateless architecture, hardened OAuth authorization, and promotes MCP Apps and MCP Tasks to official extensions. The stateless design aims to significantly reduce operational costs for large-scale MCP server farms, making them more feasible for enterprise production deployments. This release also includes enhanced security measures like mandatory OAuth issuer validation and integration with enterprise identity providers such as Okta, alongside a formal 12-month deprecation policy for new features.
