Anthropic just released an epic update for MCP!

Anthropic's MCP protocol has undergone a major update, bringing new opportunities for the development of AI agents!
Core content:
1. The MCP protocol has attracted much attention due to its universal agent
2. Introducing the Streamable HTTP transmission method to change the data transmission mode
3. The updated MCP server is simpler, more efficient, and more flexible, supporting large-scale distributed deployment
The MCP protocol has become particularly popular recently because of general intelligent agents. Just now, Anthropic released an update to MCP.
But the most popular thing about MCP is the picture below. Just like the USB-C interface makes it easier for computers to connect to various devices, MCP makes it easier for AI models to obtain data, tools and services.
So what has been updated?
A new "Streamable HTTP" transport has been introduced.
Simply put, it changes the way MCP transmits data. For example, in the past, when you were talking to someone using MCP, you had to stay online all the time (SSE requires a long connection), but with the new method, you can send messages and wait for replies at any time (ordinary HTTP requests, which can be streamed).
So what does this mean for you guys?
Implementing an MCP server is now easier
No need to build an SSE server, a normal HTTP server can support MCP!
Easier to deploy to cloud services, such as Vercel, Cloudflare, AWS Lambda, which do not support persistent connections.
Better compatibility
The previous SSE solution did not support load balancing and caching. The new solution is completely HTTP and can be seamlessly integrated with CDN, API gateway, and load balancing.
Better scalability
You can choose the stateless mode, which does not require the server to remain online for a long time.
When streaming is needed, it can be dynamically upgraded to SSE, but it is not required.
To sum up in one sentence: MCP server has become simpler, more efficient, and more flexible, can support larger-scale distributed deployment, and is no longer limited by SSE!
