A new tasks extension lets clients create asynchronous tasks, receive a task ID, and poll or subscribe for updates rather than holding a persistent connection open. This statelessness is framed as a precursor to a fully event-driven MCP: the working group is reportedly developing MCP webhooks for a future release, which would let clients fire a request and receive a response asynchronously, hours or days later, unlocking scalable asynchronous agent workflows. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed in the MCP release from 2026-07-28? MCP became stateless as of its 2026-07-28 release, moving away from the live, persistent-connection model it previously used. The release introduces a tasks extension: creating an asynchronous task returns a task ID that clients use to poll or subscribe for status updates, instead of relying on a long-lived stateful connection. _Track protocol changes like MCP's statelessness shift on daily.dev before they hit your integrations._ ### How will MCP support event-driven, asynchronous agent workflows in the future? The MCP working group is developing an MCP webhooks capability for a future release, building on the protocol's new stateless design. Once implemented, a client will be able to make a request and receive a response hours or days later, continuing exactly where it left off, without needing to keep a connection alive, unlocking scalable asynchronous agents. _Developers building async agent pipelines follow protocol roadmaps like MCP webhooks on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [The New MCP Roadmap](https://daily.dev/posts/the-new-mcp-roadmap-1oklafl87) · Model Context Protocol · 19 upvotes · 3 comments - [From standard to ecosystem: the new MCP updates](https://daily.dev/posts/from-standard-to-ecosystem-the-new-mcp-updates-ybfpbunly) · portkey · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [One Year of MCP: Looking Back, and Forward](https://daily.dev/posts/one-year-of-mcp-looking-back-and-forward-ymkm9aqzq) · The New Stack · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#architecture](https://daily.dev/tags/architecture), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/fully-event-driven-mcp-is-coming-mducchh1a) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Fully Event-Driven MCP is Coming","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/fully-event-driven-mcp-is-coming-mducchh1a","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fully-event-driven-mcp-is-coming-mducchh1a"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:20:48.675Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:24:38.630Z","description":"The Model Context Protocol (MCP) released on 2026-07-28 makes the protocol stateless, replacing its previously stateful, complex live-connection model.
