Some work I see already:
- removal of initialization handshake, get's much simpler now with
_meta on every request and new server/discovery message
- stateless communication, we can still support
Mcp-Session-Id but should keep in mind it's deprecation
- deprecation of roots, sampling and logging, keep the implementation, mark as depractated
Review the final specification that will be published on July 28, 2026.
