Model Context Protocol specification release candidate introduces a stateless core and official deprecation policy.
2026-06-26 · Source
The Model Context Protocol team published the release candidate for the 2026-07-28 specification, marking a major update to the protocol since its inception. This revision transitions the core protocol to a stateless architecture to improve scalability on standard HTTP infrastructure and introduces official support for server-rendered user interfaces via MCP Apps. New features include the Tasks extension for long-running workflows and an authorization framework aligned with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. The release also establishes a formal deprecation policy to ensure long-term stability for the agent commerce ecosystem. Developers must prepare for breaking changes as the protocol moves away from stateful bidirectional communication toward a request-response model.
Why it matters: A stateless core improves infrastructure efficiency and scalability for large-scale agent-to-tool communication.
