MCP's new roadmap drops sessions, adds agentic messaging primitives
The Model Context Protocol maintainers just published their updated roadmap, and the biggest news is what already shipped: sessions and the init handshake are gone, so MCP servers can now scale statelessly and horizontally. A new Multi Round-Trip Requests pattern and official Tasks extension reframe how agents hold conversations. Ahead: agent identity, server-initiated events, and better result types, each now owned by named maintainers and working groups. For anyone building agent tooling, this is the protocol's direction of travel.
