The latest MCP specification removes protocol-level sessions, enabling stateless request routing to any instance and significantly simplifying horizontal scaling. This change eliminates the need for sticky sessions and dedicated storage, making serverless architectures like AWS Lambda ideal, but shifts state management responsibilities to the application layer.

    MCP Spec Goes Stateless to Simplify Cloud Scaling

    Original: MCP 终于无状态了，但状态并没有消失，只是被“甩”给了应用

    • Removal of initialize handshake and Mcp-Session-Id allows standard load balancers to distribute requests directly.
    • Introduction of optional server/discover interface replaces persistent connections for capability probing.
    • Serverless architectures like AWS Lambda become efficient deployment choices as long-lived connections are no longer required.
