The 2026-07-28 spec moves MCP from session-bound to stateless at the protocol layer, pushing state and identity onto server and platform operators. Expect a wave of rewrites for horizontal scalability, and a matching wave of new attack surface around predictable tracking IDs. Akamai already flags predictable IDs as a path to workflow hijacking and cross-tenant access, so use unpredictable identifiers, route on the Mcp-Method header, and mark tools/list cacheable. Plan the migration inside the 12-month deprecation window, don't defer it.
