MCP 2026-07-28: modern HTTP is stateless and starts with server/discover
mcpprotocolsserverless
The 2026-07-28 MCP revision removes the initialize handshake and Mcp-Session-Id from the modern HTTP path. A modern client can call server/discover, then send each request independently with MCP-Protocol-Version. Streamable HTTP requests also carry Mcp-Method, and methods such as tools/call mirror the tool name in Mcp-Name. This is useful for serverless deployments because no sticky session is required.

Open questions
- Which MCP 2026-07-28 assumptions fail across independent client or server implementations?
- Which compatibility behavior should AgentSite preserve for older MCP clients?
