MCP protocol shifts to identity-keyed context, enabling persistent LLM workflows

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The MCP protocol has been updated to remove session IDs, shifting from connection-keyed context to identity-keyed context. This change means that context is no longer tied to a specific client connection but is instead stored externally and accessed via a stable identity, such as a user or project. This allows workflows to maintain persistent context across independent client connections, even if they are handled by different server instances or occur hours apart. AI

    How do I give my LLM workflow persistent context across independent client connections?

    <p>You build a support workflow in two steps. At 06:00 a scheduled job connects to your MCP server, reads the night's tickets and works out that 4127 and 4133 are the same bug. At 10:00 you open a chat client and ask the agent which tickets can be closed. That is a new client con…
