MCP Specification Moves to Stateless Transport
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has released a new specification draft dated July 28, 2026, moving its transport layer to a stateless design. This change simplifies server implementation and improves scalability by removing session state management. The update is part of ongoing efforts to standardize context exchange between AI models and tools.

The stateless shift could reduce latency and complexity for MCP adopters, but may require rethinking existing stateful integrations.
