With a stateless makeover, new MCP spec targets enterprise scale

MCP has rolled out a major spec update focused on stateless operation and enterprise readiness.

The new rules add a minimum 12-month deprecation window, with limited exceptions for critical security fixes.

Governance has moved to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, broadening oversight beyond Anthropic.

The changes aim to make MCP safer and more stable for large organizations, potentially accelerating adoption across AI tools and services.
